1st attempt at four selvage weaving. Terminal area in middle.

Abby Franquemont made the warp and started the weaving , 1st warp in the workshop

Made the warp, doubled the # of motifs, added beads to weft

Another motif. Love this one, it is in bas relief!

I saw these diagonal lines on another piece and tried it myself
