Arlene and I have been weaving up a storm for the next Fibrations. The large Fibre Arts Festival will be held in Victoria, at the Fairfield Community Centre and park, on August 16th 2015.,
Arlene tells me she has 40 towels woven up and ready to sell. Well, I am behind the 8 ball and must get a move on and weave up some more towels. I was glad to have kept the draft and math involved with a previous project, as this will save me time. The 'Keep it Simple' towels will be the next on the loom.
I have volunteered to demonstrate Kumihimo at the festival. Kumihimo means braid & cord in Japanese. There are so many websites that have information on the many different kinds of braids, I am going to keep to 7 or 8 strand braiding with several different patterns. I have a commercial foam disk, but have also bought some foam at the dollar store and have made some other types of braiding disks. The last time I did this (2 years ago), I posted the pattern instructions on my blog for a few weeks and will do so again.
