Straight-weaving
Straight weaving, done on various smaller tabletop looms, has an illusive history; however original woven pieces have been found & documented from early - mid 1800's, and some documented woven sashes & garters similar to this style dating early - mid 1700's.

Beading

Although I cannot utilize beads in the center of the design as in finger-weaving, I frequently use small 5/0 glass pony beads as an edging to further enhance the border of a strap. Colors currently available are red, white, black & gold.  Interested in original beads for the edging on a strap? Contact Bob Winters!

Card-weaving

The technique of card-weaving is one of the oldest forms of weaving in history as it has been practiced for many thousands of years. The evidence of early card-weaving has been found through many countries. So far a weaving card from a 4th Century B.C. Spanish grave has been the earliest evidence found.

Brocades

This is a technique of intricate patterns & designs which are individually raised above the rest of the woven threads, creating more of a 3-Dimensional appearance.

Lettering

The art of weaving names, dates, initials & phrases into straps or garters is another old art-form. My style of lettering is reproduced from a wool sash attached to a powder horn dating October 16, 1755.
