Irene, Thanks for your comments on the history of tablet weaving. I will save both your message and Roberts for my records. Also, although I can't translate your band descriptions into English ...... they are absolutely exquisite and a joy to look at and admire.

About the history of tablet weawing, I can contribute by telling, the the oldest tabletwowen peace here from Denmark is about 3.500 years old - namely from the grave of the maid from Egtved, Judland, Denmark. It is the waistband from her shirt, that is tabletwowen. A picture of the dress is availibel at my homepage HYPERLINK "http://www.brikvaevning.dk"www.brikvaevning.dk press the link "Brikvævning" and you will se a picture of the reconstrukted dress. I also know, that in the Balticum there have been a unbroken "line" of tabletweaving from at least 900-1000 years a. Chr. and up til now, - informations from my book about baltic bands (also shown at my web-page) There have been quiete a discussion about some ancient egyptian bands, but there are certently some "gravepaintings" (I am sorry, but I do not know how to translate it right) that shows that the art also in that part of the world was known very early. Hopefully that is of some help. Irene Lyng Denmark -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
