daemonlunaSometimes knowing a craft means you can't unsee something. (Like that episode of Call The Midwife where they knit a blanket, but the finished product was VERY OBVIOUSLY crocheted.) And sometimes I just want to complain about something a little bit without doing it in an easily rebloggable forum.
This is a visually stunning piece of art. Except there's one tiny thing. It's backwards. The loom is backwards. The unwoven warp is what's pulled off the back and spooled out. The woven cloth collects at the front of the loom. You can tell from the beater bar. It is absolutely functionally flipped if you want the effect of someone undoing their work. Technically, you could keep on weaving on it right now, pulling those threads in. It is BACKWARDS.
That's it, that is all.
