Weaving a Tapestry from start to finish!

[@ThreefoldDesigns]

I'm looking forward to filming the process of future tapestries too - let me know if you like seeing the whole process :)

[@cpack96]

this is incredible!

[@ThreefoldDesigns]

Thanks so much! 😁

[@shoopaloop7013]

This is fantastic!!! Wonderful skill!

[@ThreefoldDesigns]

Thanks so much! I thought I'd de-mystify the whole complicated process 😁

[@katrina3560]

Teaching my daughters about "living long ago" today. I remembered I had this video saved to watch later and it was a great example of a loom in action, thanks! Ha. I do love your art work. Lovely to see it come to life, in action!

[@ThreefoldDesigns]

Haa, that's so cool! Yeah, the actual process of making a tapestry is thousands of years old, and hasn't really changed (paintings from ancient Egypt show looms much the same as the ones I use!). It's pretty cool to create contemporary pieces of art using ancient techniques :)

[@loredana4603]

I just love what you do. You are amazing. The music is good too 😉🥰

[@ThreefoldDesigns]

Awww, thank you so much - I really appreciate your feedback 😁💜

[@oliverg6864]

Wow I can't believe you did that without any heddle! Such patience.

[@ThreefoldDesigns]

Haha, thank you! :D

[@DeathlyNightshade]

You're such a smart cookie, you're amazing!

[@ThreefoldDesigns]

Awww, the word you're looking for is 'tenacious' 😂

[@EWebs2010]

Wonderful! Would love to see the whole process. I am just starting.

[@ThreefoldDesigns]

Glad you enjoyed it! I'll have to make more of these, but let me know if there is anything in particular you'd like to see! :)

[@shojabaig4944]

hi you are weaving very beautiful ,thanks for your video.

[@ThreefoldDesigns]

Aww, thanks for your lovely comment, and thanks for watching!

[@allcapsoff]

holy shit this is absolutely incredible

[@ThreefoldDesigns]

Thanks so much!! 😁

[@THIAPA-THIOLY]

You do good job ❤❤

[@ThreefoldDesigns]

Aww, thank you!

[@candacevonthemua.71]

Omg where can I purchase this sized loom?? ❤

[@ThreefoldDesigns]

Hey! You can find the link here: woolery.com/ashford-tapestry-loom.html?aff=209

[@JOLENE2008]

awesome

[@ThreefoldDesigns]

Thanks so much! :)

[@camilorojas1744]

I watched it again. So many questions! I am attempting my first tapestry. What do you do with the fringe at the end. What do you do with the remaining “grass” after mowing the back. I wish you were slower when dealing with roundish weaving and show how you achieve it

[@ThreefoldDesigns]

Hellooo! I have a lot of videos on my KZbin channel, including how I finish tapestries, how I do the hem, and close up 'weave with me' videos - have a watch, and let me know if you have any questions, or requests for videos 😁

[@Charlotte-ye1vb]

You're awesome

[@ThreefoldDesigns]

Awww, too kind!! I'm posting another one of these videos this coming weekend, so stay tuned! 😁

[@lornamorrish8066]

i actually like the magnets as part of this piece

[@ThreefoldDesigns]

Haa! I think people usually think they are part of the piece in progress pics ... but there's something so satisfying about taking them and the cartoon off at the end 😉

[@peeriepoppels1784]

Thanks! Enjoyed watching! What loom is this?

[@ThreefoldDesigns]

Thanks so much! It's an Ashford tapestry loom - check out my video review which gives you more information :)

[@mirandathomas9649]

What type of thread do you weave with?

[@ThreefoldDesigns]

Hey Miranda! I use a combination of wool, cotton and linen. The linen gives my tapestries a stiffness I really like 😉

[@debraproctor1401]

What loom are you using in this video? It's not the one in the Ashford Tapestry loom in your My Equipment link.

[@ThreefoldDesigns]

Yeah, Ashford have stopped making this loom since I posted this video :( It's an Ashford Tapestry loom, you may be able to find it secondhand?

[@elizabethwatson71]

Can you do a series? From start to finish? Simple block or a repetitive pattern. Could you dumb it down?.. like you were teaching an 8 ear old. I think I would reall enjoy this art form, so please consider it.

[@ThreefoldDesigns]

Hey Elizabeth, have you seen Rebecca Mezoff's channel? She does amazing content for beginners! I'm not a tapestry teacher, I'm a fine artist, I'm just documenting my processes here on KZbin. You may enjoy my recent 'Weave With Me' video, I'll be doing a lot more of these! :)

[@elizabethwatson71]

@@ThreefoldDesigns woo hoo! I’m gonna look for her now

[@thegreatchaos13]

But wait, what did you do to the warp ends? Do they stay? Do they get clipped? What happened?

[@ThreefoldDesigns]

Hey, check out my video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGK2i4mCm7mEi9U

[@camilorojas1744]

If art is for losers, who are the winners 😊

[@ThreefoldDesigns]

Who knows? You tell me! 🤣

[@thegreatchaos13]

Is no one going mention that the tapestry says: "ART IS FOR LOSERS", but she does art?💀(edit: no offence intended!)

[@ThreefoldDesigns]

Haha, it's something that my parents used to say to me as a kid when I always said I wanted to be an artist when I grew up ;) So yeah, it's a social comment on the lack of value put on art in today's society, but also a bit of dark humour ;)

[@Falney]

Gee thanks. I guess I am a looser :(

[@ThreefoldDesigns]

Haha, you know it's a joke, right?

[@Falney]

@@ThreefoldDesigns yeah :) I wasn't being serious either.

[@ThreefoldDesigns]

@@Falney LOL!
