ABOVE: Fiber woven doll pin by Craft Diva Lynn Smythe
Yesterday I posted up a picture of my miniature art doll project. Today, I decided to continue with the art doll theme and post up a picture of one of my warped women doll pin projects. A pin back was sewn to the back of the dolls head, so that it can be worn as a pin, or attached to a tote bag, etc...
Warp & Woof Creations
The technique used to make the doll is called pin weaving, or fiber weaving. I purchased a kit years ago from Donna Rhodes and Kathy Stachowicz i.e. the Warped Women. I also purchased their book Warped Women and Material Men.
I'm not sure if they are in business anymore. I did a search on their company; Warp & Woof Creations, and found a website but it hasn't been updated since 2003. If anyone knows if they are still in business, and has updated contact information for them, please let me know.
Free Form Pin-Weaving
I made 3-4 warped women pins from kits before starting to design my own projects. I will be posting up information and photos on some of my pin-woven necklaces in future blog posts. I found the inspiration for creating my own pin-woven necklace designs after reading the book Beads & Threads; A New Technique for Fiber Jewelry by Helen Banes and Diane Fitzgerald.
Take care,
