The above photo is a great frame that a friend of mine made for me several months back. I was out thrift shopping and found these great bolts and nuts and thought if i had a whole bunch of them I could make this frame for a potholder rug myself and I called my friend and asked him a question about the bolts. He told me to come over. I showed him what I wanted and we built it together and then we had a great mexican dinner lol!! I finally got around to putting it together and had the fabric so i spent several hours cutting and then several more hours weaving and this is what I got .. after taking it off the frame its about a 5 foot x 7 foot rug. It's yellow. I love it .. Sadly my house is such a disaster that I don't even have a place to lay it. I have it folded on the bed. I'm planning to give it to my friends wife since he is the one that made the frame and provided the wood. My fingers are sore from the cutting. But I want to make more. Now that I know how it all goes together. It was fun! You know I get all happy knowing that I have talents and am able to draw and make art and create things out of peoples discarded things, but every time I try to sell these things it never seems to happen. I don't know why that is. I do have an etsy shop but I guess I haven't put enough on there. I have some things and I know that I can add more and more but I haven't done it yet. Here are some of my other works. The flower pot illustration is fun. I think I should make more of these. Little pots of flowers. Other artists do big canvases and make big bucks. Do I sound like I'm whining? I don't know if creative works go with brokeness. Perhaps I should say less and be more mysterious.
