Tablet (card) weaving
Not a long ago I found an interesting post about tablet weaving and I decided to try it out, after all I'm generally interestid in all kind of arts and crafts things so I gave it a try.
But first I needed to make the equipment, luckily this technique doesn't need much. Just many (for me the first time 8) piece of square cards, 2 coloured threads and two paper clips of some sorts.
Because I like to complicate everything I designed a 3D model of the card and then printed it out with a 3d printer, instead of simply cutting it out of cardboard.
And now came the fun part, setting up the whole weaving, without any loom or anything profesional equipment (or knowledge).
As you see it needs a lot of space (not actually I just have tiny space) for even a small piece of work.
But after that I could finally start the actual weaving.
And after a suprisingly small amount of time later (maybe around 2 hours? Or 3) I finished it.
The fun thing is, that you can clearly see the logic behind this crazy spider web thing if you check the back side of it.
Its basically like organizing spirals together.
Of course I would have never understand it from only pictures, I followed the basic steps of this two wonderful video:
