Loomed

These pieces were produced by weaving on a bead loom. Some pieces were made using a homemade loom put together out of scrap lumber and hardware and others were produced on a Mirrix tapestry/bead loom. I have woven beads using cardboard boxes or stretcher bars as looms. With one exception which is noted, all the pieces below were produced using a single set of warp threads and weaving in two passes for each row of beads. With the exception of the Herald suncatcher and pin which are adaptations of another design, the designs shown on this page are my own original designs. All designs and images on this page are copyright 1998 or 1999 by BJ Chadwick.
