I finally completed a piece I don't mind showing to someone else.
The first was just a small white band. The second warp face was on an inkle and I wasn't happy with the final results.
These were actually done on a backstrap I built myself. I finally got it warped up. I have never used a warping board before. I always direct warp onto my tapestry loom. I find warping the backstrap tedious and aggravating. But I persevered and eventually I even got something of a rythm going and got 2 decent little strips out of the warp.
I then warped up my tapestry loom with a rotateable, continuous warp. I even got a cross by strapping on extra dowels to the frame. Waste of time. In the end I just took off the spring on top (used for keeping warp spaced), and slid the warp threads close together and used my pre-made heddles and a shed sword. Nice open decent sized sheds and alot easier on this old ladies body. I took a bad fall off the top of a dump truck a few years back and find using the backstrap toooooo painful. I probably won't be able to do horizontal stripe warping on the tapestry loom, but I can warp it up and do things like supplementary weft and straps for the tapestry handbags I so love to make. Eventually I might even figure out a way to do the horizontal stripes. Maybe warp onto sticks and then strap them onto the frame like the Navajo do. Anyway, just thought I would share my learning expeirence. It was a long learning curve. LOL
