This piece sat half finished for years. I started it because I found a weaving loom in a local thrift store and, as I often do, I immediately became inspired to try a different medium. I took the loom home and started researching the craft. After falling down a rabbit hole of google searching, youtube video watching and library book reading, I started this small weaving with yarn. About midway however, I lost interest or got distracted (no doubt by another project, craft or artistic style), so I put my little tree weaving aside and forgot about it.
Then, one day I was going through my scrap basket and decided to tear the larger peices into strips and join them together to add to my little weaving and I love how it turned out. The fabric gives the piece more texture and volume. Every time I look at it my mind goes in several different ways thinking about how I could push it further. Maybe dip dye the ends of the fringe or stitch it into a quilt or maybe make it the center back of an art coat. I know I will be playing more with weaving in the future.
