I used 22 cards for this strap. The first part "hi my name is roland" is from a font in Peter Collingwood's Tablet weaving book. Then I had to return it to the guild library and I didn't copy the font out, so I finished the rest with the Gill Sans font from Linda Hendrickson's "Please Weave a Message".
This was my first actual project (and not experimental learning experience) using double faced tablet weaving. Wow is it hard to unweave if you lose your place! I did manage to fix all my errors though, and it came out to quite a cute strap. I've added a loop at one end (for holding) and some twisted and knotted fringe at the other end (for cats to grab) and it has become a nice dangly cat toy for a friend's cat who is named Roland, and who is orange and stripey. Spellcheck says stripey isn't a word, but I'm going to have to say in this case it is.
