Loom work

  « Shadow's Gallery

(Beaded Clothing & Accessories)

Loom work Though I am not Native American I do love the colors and styles of the plains Indians. I learned to loom about 7-8 years ago and since then have advanced quickly. These are pieces that have been created on the loom, a structure that provided a framework for the threads. This is simular to fabric weaving, but not quite the same.

This dragon was made for an exchange with my friend Sarah. I drew the initial dragon on paper and then graphed it out. It took aproximately 20 hours to loom it and another 20 or so hours to finish the fringe

Hello, I am Shadow and welcome to my gallery.
I began almost 7 years ago with wanting to create beaded jewlery, but found myself drawn to more Native
American influences.
Much of my work reflects this style and nature itself. I find that nature is the ultimate inspiration.
Take a look, and let me know what you think.
Thank you
