I hate being sick.\u00a0 \u00a0I know I am not alone with that.\u00a0 I sat in my recliner bundled up with chills just feeling miserable.\u00a0 Now a few days later I finally feel like I am coming out of it.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
I hated not doing anything so used my little loom and a bag of fabric strips in blacks, whites and greys to create some little woven mats.\u00a0 Don’t know yet what exactly they will be used for but was something to do while trying to breathe and watch TV.\u00a0 Maybe use as backgrounds for some hand stitch or inserted into an abstract art piece.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This one is strips of black.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

this is strips of white with light grey.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

this is with string.\u00a0 Just a loose weave and then experimented with products described below in order to hold the string in place at the joints.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
I tried some different stiffening effects.\u00a0 The techniques were encaustic wax, glue, Golden GAC 400 Fabric Stiffener and Powertex clear.\u00a0 \u00a0The wax will have it’s uses.\u00a0 As you can see it adds texture but it didn’t stiffen like I wanted. Plus the encaustic gives off some strong fumes. The glue didn’t stiffen at all.\u00a0 I liked how the last two products worked but will probably reach for the Golden more often due to the cost of the Powertex.\ufffc<\/p>\n
