I have been playing with a weave that I saw at the Millennium Jam last year.  Sabina made a fish on a plate.  It was a beautiful piece of work.  I was thinking about making a vase yesterday morning because I had promised someone I would make a vase of flowers.  I was about to do the normal weave but I then thought it would be nice to come up with something a bit different.  I was not sure how to do Sbina's weave.  She did show us but it was a case of in the brain and back out again.  But I think I sussed it out.  The first picture with the green background is the first attempt.  I had another go last night and made a tidier version and then fussed it up with a base.

These are both just lovely  What more could you want.

A step by step . .  . ??    

That's a beautiful vase and flowers!!

If you don't mind me saying I actually prefer the first one, it's less fussy. It's great to think that you reproduced it just from memory though.

I'm just getting to grips with the flowers - never mind the vase  

Thelma, those are so totally cool!  I love the vases ~ so creative.
And the flowers are beautiful too! I just love your work :-)

WOw... and double wow... I love them Thelma.  going to have to practice that one, but I am not that good at seeing beyond the print... lol

Both so NICE! Congratulations! Nice mix of colours!

Very nice, is there a name for that weave? you could make a peacock with it.

It is a weave designed by Sabina Keller from Austrie.  She made a fish with it at the M.Jam and it was fantastic.  This weave made lovely scales.  I have been playing with the peacock ides as well.  It works really well.

I call this technique "LOOP WEAVING" and I am on the way to publish the instruction for this technique in few days on this forum!

The long wait is over, Sabina has just finished the book and it will be available from Wednesday.
There will be a brief instruction on the forum but for the full details with a good selection of ideas with the weave then the CD book is excellent. I just made this from the instructions which are very easy to follow and with photo's and line drawing to help as well.
I have changed things around slightly with this vase from the instructions.
