Weaving Chaps

Alright, so I've had a few curious comments from people. So, my last weaving project for BFA was a woven pair of chaps. Which seems to boggle people's minds just a little bit.

Thusly, here are a few images from said project. Pardon the unedited versions of images, I'm still having issues getting CS 4 or 5 to work in any form and haven't had the time to sit down with my computer and try anything that takes more time.











 So basically, they were woven all in one long piece on the loom. The wool was inserted into the weave and locked in place by further weaving. Once everything was woven, one long piece was taken off the loom and cut into sections, legs and waist. The sections were then sewn together to create the chaps.

I realize now I don't have a good frontal view of them, only the side view. But this gives people an idea. ;) 

Anyway, so yeah. Now two weeks before the next critique because everything has been shoved together. So, I need to go and start working on that, not to mention reading for my other class and another project for the weaving class (for that kinda got shoved out of the way in the need to finish the chaps... which subsequently too much, much longer then they were supposed to.) But yeah, I will post a few Feast pictures eventually. vanishes.
