What transforms a basic weave into art depends on the materials used and the intention set for the project. Create an artistic weave by pulling together different materials like collage papers, gelli prints, fabrics, dried foliage, and more. I will also walk you through how to create a simple loom out of watercolor paper and craft string. I also talk about how to set an intention for any art project and how it can infuse meaning into your art making.
