What I did with my ART YARN

OK Christmas has came (or did it?) and gone 

and now it is time to get back into doing lots of 

fun things . Friday (two days ago) was our first 

weaving day back for the year . So I found the last

of my black merino yarn and my Art yarn. Warped up

the ashford sampler loom with the black and wound two

shuttles with the art yarn so that they have the colours starting 

at different places and one shuttle with black .

I did three rows of black yarn then followed by one of the art yarns

coming through the shed from the right coming out or the warp when

   the cocoon starts and then back in when it finishes so that 

all of them are not woven into the warp. Doing the same with the second

shuttle but starting from the left this time . Then followed but 

three plain weaves of black.

HERE IS THE RESULTS

HIS NAME IF FRED

GEARing up for a great 2017 (PART THREE of three posts)

PART THREE

If you have missed PART ONE and PART TWO click on links

Here it is in its finished state .

This was soo much fun to think of and it worked out how 

I had imagined . 

Penny Farthings are very much what i consider a steampunk

and this is my version BUT it would not be fun to ride as the 

wheels are not smooth .

 So now you want to see?

OK there will be a part four to follow but 

now you will have to wait as i have been working

on it for 2 days now and still not finished 

there is something truly missing from this art work !!

GEARing up for a great 2017 (PART TWO of three posts)

PART TWO

OK  as promised here is a sneak peak of part two

of what i am working on.

If you missed part one see HERE 

This time the  gear is now double the size with more 

cut outs in the gear (to prove to myself i could do this ).

 This one is 10inches across and one inch thick 

it does not open.

Here are the two so far 

GEARing up for a great 2017 (PART one of three posts)

PART ONE

OK I was not going to show my steampunk stuff for 2017 Tasmanian steampunk festival. But since I want to post and not leave everything till June (cause my blog will be quiet again if i wait) So here is what i have been working on over the past three days. NO correction this is a 1/3 part sneak peak of what i have been working on over the past three days . I designed the gear and then turned it into the 3D pattern in make the cut. Still learning lots as I make the 3D patterns. I cut this in black then pieced it altogether, before then going to cut out all the embossed trims ** embossed trims are three of each piece glued together and then glued on the gear. THEN I took gold acrylic paint on my finger and added to the black embossed gear and

 HERE IS THE RESULT 

 Besure to check back for part two and three 

coming soonnnnnnnn
