Krokbragd Weaving and Ceramic Poppies

Wednesday, August 19th, 2015

Our summer has been quite dry and all of our native grasses have turned into shades of gold, rust and cream with hints of their former green. My krokbragd weaving, summer corn and seafoam ceramic poppies capture what our Texas summer looks like!

You can purchase the ceramic poppies for a wall art collection in our Etsy shop here:Wolf Art Glass on Etsy.

How to Make a Copper Braided Wire Circlet

Saturday, May 18th, 2013

I purchased this great very pliable copper colored aluminum flat wire at Michael’s. It is $5.99 for 5 yards. It should be in the section for beading and jewelry supplies.

Braided Copper Circlet Tutorial

Now measure the circumference of your head using a flexible measuring tape or a non-stretchable piece of string and add 4 inches to that number. My head is 22 inches, so I will cut 3 pieces of wire 26 inches long.

Note: the surface of this aluminum wire can mar easily and remove the copper color, so use pliers that have rubber padding or a piece of paper towel to cover the wire before bending.

Next, bend about 3/4 inch on the end of each piece and hook them together to stabilize them for braiding.

Braided Copper Circlet Tutorial

Clamp this end to a book, table or put it in a vise. Used a soft cloth or paper towel to protect the wire and the clamping surface. Now slowly start to braid. The braiding action is more like easing the wire from side to side and less like braiding a more pliable medium like hair or yarn.

Braided Copper Circlet Tutorial

Your end will look like this:

Braided Copper Circlet Tutorial

Now bend one of the ends around the other two and crimp flat.

Braided Copper Circlet Tutorial

Next bend the other 2 ends back to form a hook.

Braided Copper Circlet Tutorial

Take the other end and fold all 3 wires back on themselves.

Braided Copper Circlet Tutorial

Cut a 1-2 inch piece of wire and form a flat ring. Slide this ring over the ends and press the ends to hold the ring in place.

The hooks should slide into the ring to hold it fast.

Rigid Heddle Weaving Pattern – Silver Birch Trees in Autumn

Saturday, May 12th, 2012

I was weaving a blue and cream striped scarf the other day and I liked how the little horizontal blue weft lines crossed over the cream warp threads and it reminded me of lovely birch trees. So here is my first version of a silver birch tree scarf, this one in gorgeous fall colors. This pattern woven wider would make a great table runner and after watching PBS’s Craft in America Episode V111 last night all about threads, I may have to start cutting up my weaving to make into little art quilts.

The finished scarf is available in my Etsy shop here!

Crochet Kindle Fire Cover Pattern

Monday, February 20th, 2012

My latest crochet pattern! I love my kindle fire and needed a soft and squishy cover to protect it when I am not using it. I chose to create a cable pattern since the cabling adds an extra layer of padding as compared to normal flat crochet or knit.

Interlocking Crochet

Interlocking Crochet Colorways

Saturday, January 28th, 2012

The interlocking crochet technique opens up a huge range of possibilities. The double-sided patterns are such a bonus, especially when working on blankets and scarves.

Here is a colorway that I have used in a baby blanket for our little friend Sebastian. This is a sample of the same colorway but with a different pattern.

Interlocking Crochet

This book has a great set of patterns and teaches the basics of interlocking crochet.

Interlocking crochet is pretty basic once you get the hang of it. You create 2 separate rows of double crochet filet, then each row is worked with a separate color through the mesh of the other color. Now, when I first bought this book, I actually threw it across the room because I could not figure out the stitches. I HIGHLY recommend that you watch these tutorials by the author before you start.

http://www.interlockingcrochet.com/video-tutorials/interlocking-crochet-video-tutorials.html

This pattern has a different patterned opposite side, some have the same pattern with just the main dominant color reversed.
