Sponsored by TWIST - Tablet Weavers International Studies & Techniques Howdy, folks!
I finally finished my medallion ribbon! It's 28 inches in length, permanently fixed to the medallion, and just over 1 1/8" wide. With 73 tablets, that gives it an effective Ends Per Inch measure of about 260. This has been one of those projects where it fought me quite a bit - I had threads break (actually, come untied, but the effect was the same!) and tension problems and mis-read charts... but I'm very pleased with how it finally turned out. I've got photos and more info in my journal; This post has most of the logistical details, like the source of the quote, the images, and all the charts: http://oakenking.livejournal.com/170743.html This post has some good close-ups during the weaving: http://oakenking.livejournal.com/173976.html And this one has it FINISHED!!!: http://oakenking.livejournal.com/174333.html The beads are strung onto the shuttle about a dozen at a time, and pushed forward as needed. I'm very pleased with the way they look, although next time I will use solid metal beads, as the plating changes color and then rubs off. They still look good, because they're inside-plated as well.... but metal beads would be nicer. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
