Creating a Fiber Art Tapestry

I love to find treasure at thrift stores ~ especially those that support unique causes. A vast majority of the items I use to create these pieces of art came from a local thrift shop that support those with Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities. It is a beautiful non profit organization that I have supported for many years, collecting unique fibers, yarns and unusual jewelry that is above grade or very unique. When I recently found a vintage metal loom, I dug out many boxes full of these yarns and jewelry pieces and I created my first mini tapestry.  I love the textures and feel of all the different fibers. I spend hours sorting and combining colors to create a tapestry. Once finished, I sort through jewelry for the perfect accent plus a unique hanger.  NO two are alike. I often create with no idea of the accents that will  grace a finished piece.  I currently have 6 finished tapestries that I have yet to find the special piece of jewelry to complete them.  You just never know when the right thing will present and a new piece of artwork will be completed.  Once my stash of fibers is gone, these mini art tapestries will not be created again. Get them while they last!
