Does this loom. . .
. . . make my butt look big?
While checking the tension on some new warp that I had tied on, I stepped away from the loom briefly, then returned to find Pants sprawled comfortably upon the apron.
Pants just shape-shifted to fill the space so he wouldn't have to share it with one of the other household furs. It's beginning to look like you should have a loom for each fur in the house plus one, so there would be one for you to work at.
Pants is a big cat. He's close to 20 pounds. When he decided to sprawl on the loom, he completely filled the 22" width of weaving space. This table loom has a canvas cloth that both front and back apron rods fit into. The way I left the front one made a wonderful little sling/hammock just right for him. If this continues, I'm probably going to have to evict one of the 2-legs in the household and take my studio bedroom back (then I can set up the much larger floor loom, too!).
And here's hoping he doesn't want payback for unflattering shot!!
I enjoy art and like to look for it in the natural world. My craft interests include handspinning and most of the fiber arts, especially knitting, weaving, and working with paper. Other important things are my family and friends, my pets, nature, literature, poetry, music, history, birding, star gazing, museums...and the list goes on. In other times and places, I've been an archaeologist, taught anthropology, and worked in a living history museum, so I find all sorts of things to hold my interest and keep me entertained. I hope to share some of these things with you.
lol i needed that!!!!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't look the most comfortable place to sit!
ReplyDeleteOh, dear! Maybe you should be careful for a while. Pants might want payback for that shot!
ReplyDeleteOur pets just want to be where we are ... and sometimes it makes no sense at all!
