Terra Looms Are Catching ON

I was sad to see the peeled cedar loom go, but two women were trying to outbid each other over it, so someone had to have it. The silent auction experience allowed me to present the loveliest loom yet to the public. Orders may come in as a result. One order just came to me from a friend, small birch table top style. My hopes that these would be something people would want have been realized. I must get busy.....bye for now.

Terra Loom for Silent Auction

This new loom is going to be available at a silent auction on Sept. 25th, at the Vermont Coverts 25th anniversary celebration.. I am a member of the group and on the board of directors, so I offered up this
loom out of wood from our land (except for the driftwood). I am getting more confident in the construction of the looms, still run into unforeseen problems with cutting and drilling , but for the most part, they come out pretty nice. This would probably sell for 75.00, but we shall see what people who have never seen one before are willing to pay. The money goes to a good cause, www.vtcoverts.org, so I am glad to do it.

Terra Loom With Alpacas

This loom was finished today and is on its way to an alpaca breeder in Irasburg. The barn board detail of alpacas is compliments of Kyla Myott's board, Kathleen van Gelder's alpaca cookie cutter and my scroll saw, and other tools. The loom will be on display at the Big E where Kathleen and her alpacas will be showing off their great fiber coats. She is promoting alpaca fiber for all manner of crafts, and also helping get the word out about Terra Looms. Kyla and I will be at the Alpaca Breeder's Assoc. gathering at Champlain Valley Expo, in Essex, VT during the 3rd weekend in Oct, using and showing off the Terra Looms we have made. Kathleen will have her new one there and will be weaving along with us. It's catching!!!
