Framing Little Woven Things

I've been making these mini woven things and they are a lot of fun! I've been scouring thrift shops for old frames to mount them in and I think these two turned out very nice. I'm using wool felt as the background and sewing the panel right on. I was originally going to hang them unframed, but they are only about five inches across and was afraid they would get lost hanging on a wall. I like the solution!

Hoop-La

It's time for the second annual Hoop-La show and sale! Cynthia and Frances - the founders of Necessary Arts Company came up with this fun show, not only to showcase artists work, but also as a fundraiser and studio grant! Participants were given a wooden circle to create a piece of artwork with. The finished pieces are on display and can be purchased online. I created a circular weaving on mine. I wanted to use lots of texture and different weaving and surface techniques to create my piece. I'm very pleased with the outcome.
