It's in a frame and in pride of place on the living room wall! My husband hung it, so that means he likes it too. :)
The weft is all handspun by me, made on my 24" Ashford rigid heddle loom. My teen had a spare A1 sized frame we got from Ikea years ago so I thought I would try stretching the weaving over the perspex so that the textile wasn't covered and I think it looks great! It could do with being a *little* deeper to accommodate the thick fabric where it built up in the corners, but not bad for making do with what we have.
I promise it's not crooked, it's just my atrocious photography skills! I don't think I ever ever put anything I've made on the wall before - feeling very proud of it. I love how there are pops of really rich contrasting colours but when you look at them as a whole, there's almost a picture there.
I have another weaving on the loom at the minute, inspired by all the boho type weavings that float around on pinterest. I'll share some photos of it once there's a little more work in it.
