Title: Does anybody else fingerweave?
Post by: madcrow on July 19, 2013, 12:41:11 am

Here are a few i have done recently, only one was made on a loom, the rest were finger woven.  Sorry for teh crappy pics, the flash was too bright and made teh red look very bright pink.

     Wow those are nice! :o  You should do a tutorial!  All in favor say yea! ;D ;D

 Well you certainly have some great trade material, especially for the muzzle loading crowd.  I can just see J.W. drooling.  And Eddie is probably thinking of ways to trade you out of some of those, also.  Great work. ;) 8) 8)

I do pretty well with string figures but I think I might end up all tied up if I tried finger weaving! Those are nice. We use them a lot out here for our traditional dances.

Those are very nice madcrow!!! I have never tried finger weaving, I'll have to check it out. I have done some card weaving, http://www.theloomybin.com/cw/doc/whatiscardweaving.html , making bag and horn straps. I like the variety of patterns you have done.
