Tapestry Weaving with Olive and the Boy
Kristin Carter is certainly a master of creating intricate pictures in her cheerful woven artworks. She uses a mixture of techniques including tracing images, using a backing image behind her loom and using embroidery to really bring her woven pictures to life. I would consider her style to be a classic yet playful modern take on traditional tapestry weaving. In this blog post, Kristin takes you through her inspiration and skills used to create a tiny work of art.

Welcome to the Travelling Loom
Every few weeks, The Travelling Loom (one of my Mini Weaving Kits) will be heading off to a different fibre artist to document their experience with create a mini weaving. The idea of this blog is to offer the readers a look into the creative experiences of various fibre artists using the same loom and tools and to provide inspiration for emerging weavers. Some blog posts may be a tutorial to create a similar weaving, or they may be an insight into the artists process of weaving and use of materials and their inspirations.Â
