Welcome, you’re just what we need, another artist.

Thanks for the welcome from you both. Yes, I am an artist but have not made anything in wood. I am looking for directions for a Inkle loom, they look so simple to make.

Woodworkers and weavers have a long history together so maybe someone will have an idea. Good luck

Diane – Well I checked out what an Inkle Loom is and it looks facinating! I think anything we do with our hands is very therapeutic and rewarding. I was amazed at how many furniture quality inkle looms I found with a basic internet search. Bleow are a couple of links that might be helpful.

Somehow I got two posts the same so I deleted this one.

Wow, David the first link you posted I found after days of looking, actually I found that one yesterday. The second one looks pretty good the best I’ve seen for directions to make one. I really can’t make one myself, I was thinking of asking someone I know. I will have to do more reading to see how to use this thing first. I will post another link I found incase someone is interested enough to learn this craft. http://www.dickblick.com/zz650/07/ sells one, if I buy one I might get it from them since it is local and they take returns if there is a problem.

Here is the site that I found that seems to have the best directions on how to use these looms. http://inkleweaving.com/

Diane – very intersting link, thanks! Sure looks pretty simple to build. Just need to be sure to make it sturdy enough for the stress of weaving. Hopefully someone local will be able to assist you.

Thanks for giving me these building directions. Just thinking about it at this point having these directions might really help.

Welcome Aboard Dianne.

-- Bill, Turlock California, http://www.brookswoodworks.com

Thanks Bill. Everyone calls me Dianne, I keep wondering how everyone seems to know I’m french when I spell my name Diane. Every board I post on people call me this, people must just know somehow sure wish I knew how that could be. I don’t mind being called by either just amazing me every time it happens.

Bill, just saw your painter’s box, I love it I am a painter. Maybe I will stay with this group for awhile I might buy something along the way.

Diane

You might be a lumberjock if you go looking for an Inkle Loom just so you’ll have an excuse to talk to the French Chick…
Welcome to the Shop Diane

Michael, ha ha, you made me smile with that one.

Each guy that replies I go and look at his site. I already went and saw yours today when I was reading and looking around. You have nice stuff, I liked it all.

There is a guy on here that makes these Inkle looms. He e-mailed me back 4 days ago but I didn’t even know it, I hope he sees my reply now that it is so late. He does a nice job. I need directions with the loom though since I don’t know how to use one so that was one of my questions.

Diane

Michael, just went to your site , it wasn’t what I saw today but I thought I remember that it was your stuff. It was a mag-rack, a wall hanging with some hooks, three tables that seat ontop of each other and some kind of table.

Diane

-- http://s205.photobucket.com/albums/bb276/DMarcella/

Glad to hear you will be sticking around awhile. There is all kinds of amazing projects that the lumberjocks have created. Just trying to keep up with them is is hard to do.

-- Bill, Turlock California, http://www.brookswoodworks.com

Thanks Bill. Just wondering is there many women on here that build as well?

I’m getting a quote on an Inkle loom from someone from this group, I may be weaving very soon. I love it that some even make there own musical instruments.

Diane

The magazine tables I made for a friend of mine, the nesting tables replaced a pine set, the wall shelf with the hooks were a gift to my brother in law/pastor. And the two different sites were problaby my home page which are Hard Rock Maple Cabinets and my projects page which has several of my projects so far. I’ve made 10 tables so far in the past 4 or 5 months, and I see more in my future.

Thanks for taking the tour.

You’re welcome it was fun looking at your projects. 10 tables in 4-5 months, I see you keep yourself pretty busy. So nice to see you have a pastor in the family do you go to his church?

Thanks Karson.

Welcome! Let’s see some of your woodworking!

-- Jesus is Lord!

Not only do I go to church but all of my tools are in my Brother-in-law/Pastor’s garage. I see him more than his own family does … well almost.

Hi Oscorner,

Sorry, I don’t do any woodworking myself but do other crafts and I paint. Nice to see you know the Lord.

Diane

Hi Obi,

That’s pretty good that you are that close like this.

-- http://s205.photobucket.com/albums/bb276/DMarcella/

That’s O.K. Debbie does purses and leather work, so I’m sure we’d like to see some of your work.

-- Jesus is Lord!

Maybe you will find some lumberjock that can make the items you want to paint or use in your crafts. Anyway, good to have you along for the ride.

-- Bill, Turlock California, http://www.brookswoodworks.com

Hi Bill,

I might be buying an Inkle loom from a member here, still reading up on the craft to see if it is indeed something I want to do.

That would be great if I could have someone to make stuff for me like you mentioned. I have no ideas in that direction right now do you?

Diane

Hi Oscorner,

Here are a few of my pages of my crafts and art. The frog painting was what it looked like when I first started it it looks much more life like now. I did a landscape painting too that I don’t have on either of these pages. I’m working on my forth painting now the frog painting that I pictured on one of these site pages. I have done alot more things than what’s on these two pages.

It looks like I didn’t make pages to show my jewelry. These pages I’ve posted were made just to send photos in e-mail they weren’t meant to be website pages so I didn’t correct errors. http://community-2.webtv.net/fblooms/DianesCrafts/

This one shows a slate piece I got ready for painting, I don’t have a clue what I’m going to paint on it yet. These are old slate shingles, they can make beautiful works of art. The belts on the other link I gave are my own idea.

Diane

Hi Obi,

I have to ask, is that a drawing of you that you replaced your photo with?

Diane

-- http://s205.photobucket.com/albums/bb276/DMarcella/

Nice frog painting! (fully relying on God)

-- http://www.woodsongsfurniture.com

Thank Mitchell,

The frog painting is the first painting I did. The flower one under it is mu second one. I only finished 3 paintings so far. I’m on my 4th painting now, another frog painting.

Diane

Mitchell,

What nice wood carving work you do. I love the maple leaf work on that robin painting/carving. I love the look of color and natural wood together.

Diane

Dennis sorry I made a mistake and called you by your last name.

Diane

-- http://s205.photobucket.com/albums/bb276/DMarcella/

David redid my photo with photo shop… I guess he didn’t like the real me LOL.

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

Obi, I think he did well with making the photo shop image, I don’t know how easy or hard that is though. I liked you real picture better though.

I think I’m going to replace my photo with my flower painting so everyone get to see it, than I’ll put it back to my photo later. Will see if it takes the painting picture to let me do it.

Diane

-- http://s205.photobucket.com/albums/bb276/DMarcella/

I like your photo better… But then I’d rather look at a pretty woman than flowers anyday.

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

Obi, thanks, I will put it back after awhile.

Diane

-- http://s205.photobucket.com/albums/bb276/DMarcella/

Obi, I don’t know if you know this or not, I post this info on the Inkle loom thread, that this flower picture is my painting I did. It is my second painting I’ve done infact. I wanted everyone to see it. I painting it in acrylics.

Diane

-- http://s205.photobucket.com/albums/bb276/DMarcella/

what’s the link?

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

I have it on my desktop now not on a site page. The flower picture is my painting. I have a picture uploaded to a site page but it isn’t as good as this picture. Here it is along with my first painting which is the frog painting at the top of the page.

http://www.geocities.com/fblooms/profile2.html

Diane

-- http://s205.photobucket.com/albums/bb276/DMarcella/

I decided to upload it to my site so you can see it, it came out really nice. I will upload it later, have that flower he exceeded my use of the site so now it can’t be view. will do this tomorrow if I can.

Diane

-- http://s205.photobucket.com/albums/bb276/DMarcella/

very nice

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

Thanks,
Thanks, I will post the new link when my site is up and running again. I thought it was the flower picture here that caused the problem but that isn’t it since it is upload to this site. It says one reason can be that my site is too big.

Diane

-- http://s205.photobucket.com/albums/bb276/DMarcella/

Ok, I redid my page with the better picture so you can see a good view of both paintings: http://www.geocities.com/fblooms/profile2.html

Diane

-- http://s205.photobucket.com/albums/bb276/DMarcella/

I will have to try to down size my site it keep saying my site is not available.
