Be sure to visit our online Weaving Gallery with pictures of items woven from drafts obtained here.
We have received some photos of exceptional weaving and encourage you to browse through the gallery! We welcome gallery submissions from
all Handweaving.net visitors, so please consider sending pictures of your work for the gallery to inspire others around the world.
The picture at the left from the Gallery shows a beautiful Tencel Beaded Scarf and Matching Purse.
It was woven by Jo-Anne Swain in Australia using a draft dated 1677 from Weber Kunst und Bild Buch by Marx Ziegler that was obtained here.
