I have been fitting in ten and fifteen minute weaving sessions here and there over the last three weeks and was able to finally finish another collection of woven wall hangings. I offered them for sale via Instagram under @smileandwaveflashsale as well as a few mini wire weavings (not shown). There was such a great response and all but two of them sold. It's thrilling to know others enjoy my work enough to put it in their home and I appreciate the ways it helps support my family! Thank you!
It's also been really fun experimenting with a few new ideas and playing with color combinations. Also, roving!!! Give me all the roving!
This one is still available for purchase. See details on @smileandwaveflashsale.

If none of these ever went to live with someone else and the just lined the walls of my studio, I wouldn't mind at all. No lie.
I've got plans for another collection coming out in May and then I may just keep listing them in a Big Cartel shop as I make them instead of waiting until I have a handful.
If you've been itching to start weaving but don't know where to start, I have a beginner's weaving tutorial over on A Beautiful Mess to get you started on your first simple wall hanging. Anyone can do it!
Thanks for reading, friends.

Rachel, your works creative talent in weaving is greatly loved by me. Thank you for sharing your talent. I was wondering if you would make one for me if I sent you some hand spun yard that I have and want something unique to be made with it? I understand if not but appreciate you even considering the idea. Paula

These are absolutely gorgeous! It is clear that so much skill, patience, and creativity definitely went into these crafts. The colors are absolutely stunning as well. They would look beautiful sharing a space with an equally unique, custom Felt Ball Rug!
