Warping and weaving plastic bottle (after cutting its bottom) …

Wow! So much for my asthma! I am hibernating at home. In September I got shingles and still did not recover completely. I was sick again and again with the flue and cold, allergies and asthma and weaving big tapestries was out of question. But I was not completely hopeless, I was making a small stuff! I said stuff, because those experiments - although woven … are not tapestries ...

Sorry I asked you to enable comments -- I didn't see the link at the bottom of the page. I would love to know how you warp the bottles for weaving.

Rob… you can see on the last two pictures…
I made cuts (diagonal openings) 1cm or less at the bottom and attached the warp to the ring made at the top - neck of the bottle" so the thread could go up and down… after I finished I cut unnecessary openings and the plastic bottle could slid out but I decided to leave it, so my bottle will be more strong…

This work and way of warping reminds me of the bag on a box that was discussed on the list recently. Great creativity Krystyna and most importantly, you are weaving!

Pam.

I love your stuff. I love how you incorporate your artistic sense into everyday things. This is very inspiring. I don't post much on the list, but I'll be posting her. Wonderful stuff.

Thanks Pam, yes it is kind of this same idea like weaving on a box or cardboard. I made some experiments working on already ready skeleton such as lampshade or plastic basket. I will add those later on my blog…
