my creations

During the past couple years as I transitioned from a much more outside active life to one that is more centered at home for health reasons, I sought out a variety of ways to be creative and busy while nurturing my mind and body.

I have wanted to try my hand at weaving for many years-but a traditional floor loom was out of reach and not suitable for my new lifestyle.  I found a video on YouTube showing how to make a portable, lightweight 'frame loom' and my sweet husband picked up the minimal and very affordable materials necessary and put together what turned out to be my favorite new tool-and the frame loom was born!

The frame loom is a perfect match for my needs for portability, ease of use, and simplicity.  I can weave a variety of patterns-the herringbone being a favorite.

Following are a few examples of works in progress and finished projects that have been thoroughly therapeutic both in terms of stimulation through mind/body coordination and color play.
