Process

With my fiber experiments I made with a DIY loom, I constructed a frame out of wood by cutting them and then cutting them into 45 degree angles to create the frame. I then stretched a canvas around the frame and added my fiber experiments as well as more cotton to take away from the square shape frame.

Process

For my next experimentation with materials, I want to create stretch canvases, and make the frame to stretch the canvas out of wood.

I want this to be a structure for my last project and I want to stitch on and attach the circle loom experiments  onto them to expand the piece more. as well as made more loomed experiments.

(pictures coming soon)

I want to try and experiment with lumber and see how I can make something with it since I have little to no experience.  

I went to the Mother Land of Lumber and went to home depot and bought some 2 by 4s and some ply wood and see how I can play with it!

20 handmade fiber experiments

.

I constructed 20 handmade fiber experiments by a DIY circle loom made out of various circular things such as embroidery hoops and bucket lids.

Each one is handmade and unique, also they are detachable wall pieces and all hang from hooks or nails. I plan on in the future to make many more and continue working on this and make it more than it is.

Process

I plan on making a bunch of these fiber experiments and hang them on the wall in a cluster. I make them out of DIY looms. I made a larger loom from a bucket lid, I cut out the middle with a saw and made my loom!



I am working on weaving different types of fabrics, or fibers, ect, and weaving them into the loom to create a different type of line.

Crit 1.

    In my "studio" I played around with a bunch of different ways to approach a fiber sculpture. 

I retaught myself how to finger weave in order for me to create this "rope" like yarn and to help me make the yarn a bit thicker.

*PERSONAL PROJECT ASKING FOR SUBMISSIONS*

   I am working on a personal project similar to my Text Message series where I screen shotted text messages that held a lot of personal value and made them into a series :

What I want to do now is use rude, ignorant, or explicit comments, or messages from random people on social media. We have all gone through it where someone we don't know has to say the most ridiculous things to us through the shadow of social media. If you have Comments, DMs, or messages from people you have encountered on any form of social media, and want to be included in my project, please screen shot them and email me at hollisalazar123@gmail.com.

Thank you!
