Me who has started multiple projects and haven't finished any of them for essentially the whole year: what if I start a new project for my friends sisters themed birthday party two days before the event?
Anyways I have no idea what I'm doing
Pre-work update: m0re feathers (but not all!)
But don't worry, the other side is there, it's just uh ... Yeah

Additional reference for just how big this thing is

I’m at my first fiber festival and is so much fun. I get to see local fleeces for sale , weaving guilds , rug hooking guilds , yarn dyers , spinners there’s even a couple people selling handmade lotions and soaps made with lanolin.
The range of creativity is just awe inspiring . Like have you just thought about things humans do with fiber ?

Don't know how I managed to forget to post this one but I just recently got it off the loom (and re-warped for a new band for my friends renaissance costume).
Halfway through twisting the fringe on one side and I think I'm doing an alright job for my first time, gonna have to get creative with the other side because the leftover strings are way shorter.
Had a lot of fun figuring out a more "organic" pattern instead of the classic diamond/stripes even if it made the weaving 10x slower
Fun update, won second place for tablet woven items in the state fair! (As one of two entries but shhh)
Still trying to figure out what the judges like I guess
The latest band I'm working on for a friend. They intend to use it as a hat band for their renaissance costume. Colors picked to represent a peacock motif, though prior to adding the blue during warping it was giving big mint chocolate vibes (first pic).
Super easy pattern (basically only move tablets forward) and based on a historical pattern. Warp threads are pearl (8?) embroidery thread and the weft is size 10 crochet cotton.
And finished just shy of a month later! Almost certainly the quickest I've been start to finish on a tablet weaving project

Third tablet woven band with colors picked out by my friend that I made them as a gift. Colors remind me of Mardi gras. Ended up finishing at about the right time to submit to the state fair and got third place! (out of three entries for tablet weaving but I digress, at least I know my competition for next year)
I think this was my first non reversible pattern and always found the reverse very interesting. You can also see where I had initially wanted to do a different pattern but decided on a full diamond pattern. Kinda disliked how the weft threads would show up in the middle of the band in between the diamond pattern where the tablets would go in the opposite direction, would probably be less noticeable if the weft matched one of the warp colors.

The second tapestry that I made from my class, we had a lot more free reign for this one though it was highly recommended to be a simple design.. like a shape. I had decided on a circle which ended up being more of an oval in the end due to not accounting enough for shrinkage (pushing all the weft threads down at the end). Ironically the instructor had to give The Circle Talk™️ three times to help us better translate a circle to a grid.
At least for this simple design I wanted to just freeform it and not plan it out essentially pixel by pixel, though that will likely change when I start larger and more complicated designs in the future. I still feel like there's a lot of other techniques I want to research before really diving in (and also finishing my current projects)
Took a tapestry weaving class (once a week for approximately a month and a half). Here is my first of two made through the class, this one was more focused on learning technique (plain weave, rya knots, and rya loops) over making anything super cohesive. Still think this came out pretty nice color wise even with the clashing warp threads.
Also bonus, the reverse side. I got a lot of good comments on my consistent tension during the class which is probably because I started with a more difficult hobby of tablet weaving (or at least a steeper learning curve)
Wood planing competition for thinnest plane of wood
Not my work but I did attend a fiber festival workshop of an introduction of dyeing with mushrooms. All the skeins in the first picture were dyed with various mushrooms, or sometimes the same mushroom but with a different pH/mordant.
Really makes me curious since all that's really done is just throwing things in a pot of water and boiling it prior to adding the mordant and fabric, if you couldn't get better results actually extracting the compound that is the dye. I'd have to do a lot more research but I'd be surprised if the dye compounds are all water soluble.
Lesson in contrast, really wish I had chosen different colors for this band after the fact since the grey and light blue ended up too hard to differentiate.
Second tablet woven band I've made, and first using different material/size yarn for warp vs weft, which also gave it a different feel (more stiff?) than my first band which was all embroidery floss. Crochet 10 cotton warp, and embroidery floss weft

Plugging my very first tablet woven band (from almost two years ago now?). Definitely a learning experience, honestly need to make more of that width for some other projects in mind but I need to finish the band I currently have on the loom
Step 1: put threads on loom
Step 2: pray I did it correctly
Update: I did indeed have to fix all of my tablets (all were threaded the opposite way) but that allowed me to swap the black and white colors in the pattern for better aesthetics
Tumblr did indeed fail me in that I was unable to search for this post so here's a late update since I finished this just after Christmas (and have since moved onto a new weaving project).
Band just under 5 ft long with no immediate plans for it as it was just practice getting used to a semi-celtic pattern. Bonus picture of the reverse side because I think it's neat.
Size 10/sport weight (?) crochet thread in white, burgundy, and black pinstripe (black fading into light grey and back again)
