Wahla!

I finished the pieces I started here they are, this is what my brain came up with.

Day Trip to the Big City of Albuquerque

My sister and I took a day trip to Albuquerque. She drove so I was assigned to take pictures. Without slowing down or stopping, I managed to get some good ones. This is a the beautiful and majestice Sangre de Cristo mountains at Santa Fe that add to the beauty of the capitol city.

This is a picture of the descent from Santa Fe to Cochiti Pueblo also called La Abajada.

The next photo was taken to show that the concrete barriers holding tons of earth along Hwy285/84 is slipping and soon may crash onto the highway. Better get some engineers out there soon.

A little problem at Exit 599 that needs some attention

Tying One On

I finally got into low gear and started on the loom, it does take a little coercing, but once I'm on the loom it's hard to stop. My Tia Eppie Archuleta said something like this..........I'll stay up all night 'till I get a piece : )

I decided to break up the tela (warp) on the 38" loom into two smaller weavings and a 5" band that will probably end up as coasters.

I also decided to show the steps I take to getting a piece, or two or three.

Step one: tie tela warp

each weaving has double string edges

to help mis-shaping

Step 1b: turn on some good music

Step 2: pick your colors

Step 3: make canillas, used in lanzadera for the solid parts, cadejos used for the design part, and butterfy used same as cadejo, but doesn't roll off the telar loom.

Step 3: start your weavings

Coasters *Sold*

Here is a small sample of my weaving.

I weave coasters because they are affordable and they make great gifts. My loom is set up to make multiples of 3 coasters, each approximately 3.5"x 3.5" in size.

This set of 3 *Sold* for $20

Dream Weavings; you dream it up, I'll weave it.

Here's a bit of a twist of the same design with color and weaving changes. This is done in the movida rapido or fast move, which gives it a bit of an eye dazzler look.
