Rug loom

(1/4) > >>

BowEd:
It seems Robin has a need to be creative too while seeing me make bows and arrows.She's got the ambition for sure.Made up a rug loom for her.It can make 8 different length and width rugs.The material she uses at the moment is strips of bed sheets.She picks those up dirt cheap at a thrift store.It makes nice thick rugs.

Knoll:
Will be cool to see what she creates.

BowEd:
She's made 7 or 8 so far.I'll get some pics of them.They make thick rugs like I said.Making them all started with the need for a cushoined area around our counters on the floor for our dishes etc.We've got ceramic tile on the floor and eat off of some very old dishes we'd like to keep intact.....HaHa,as we are a clumsy pair.
I've tried to get her to make bows or even arrows or strings but she won't do it.

BowEd:
Some pics have been sent to me about the process of rug making.They take machine washing well also.




She puts about the same amount of time into a rug as I do brain tanning a hide.Depending on size of course.Around 8 hours.

Hawkdancer:
Nice work.  I can see where those floors might be hard on fine china dishes >:D!
