When the design is completed, yarns are selected. A warp, the threads running lengthwise on the loom, is wound onto a warping board. The loom is then sleyed with the warp ends passing through the dents on the reed and then threaded through the heddles on the treadles. After the ends are tied to the beams, front and back, the weaving begins. The brief explanation actually involves about twenty steps leading to the actual weaving.
Shuttles are then wound with the weft yarns which cross the warp to form the fiber.
When the weaving is finished, the construction process has just begun. Once the core or body of the piece is in place the design continues. The body of the larger pieces consists of mesh wire because of its lightweight and flexibility. Each piece is individually constructed, and all have their specific design considerations, which are uniquely different. The art pieces involve a great deal of hand sewing to secure and finish the piece.
