Nanduti on "Hana-Ami" flower loom

 I think this is a nice loom.   Plus, artists can purchase them -- I'm  trying a Nanduti pattern from Clover Japan.   I need to add knots on the 2nd petal.   I am so used to a pillow or loom with pins or loom with notches.   The pegs can get in the way!

Their web site has patterns:

Teneriffe Lace 

Nanduti Square

"Hana-Ami" Flower Loom - Product Info.

The fibers were gifted to me from 

my friend Beth.  Thx!!!

 

 lots of colors to choose from.   And yes, these looms from Clover are still available to purchase.   https://clover-usa.com/products/hana-ami-flower-loom

 3 1/2 " x 3 1/2 " -- 32 pegs

"Hana-Ami" flower loom

 I own a flower loom (Clover Art No. 3146), saw their pattern on web site (https://clover.co.jp/) for Nanduti with the square.   They also have teneriffe patterns for the round piece.   Noticed the patterns use a huck needle (not the plastic one that comes with the loom).

So far, the loom is ok to use.  It is nice to see both sides of the needle weaving -- tho, the pegs can get in the way 

(I'm used to foam looms, wooden looms, lace pillow where the pins are pushed in--or sewn spokes on fabric).

I'm using DMC coton perle 5, col. 602 - start.

changing to col. 742 next for the rest of the petals.

Edge knotting w/ DMC No. 8, Col. 959.  

 Tradition: the work you see is the BACK of the project.   Once off the loom, turn it over to the front.

Here goes:

   

 pulling out the scissors ....

 getting ready to cut the fabric from the back .... then starch

 

Nanduti 1 Class -- re try [Edited post]

Ripped out a LOT.   Giving another try.   (EDITED post)

  

I was not happy with the large circle or knotted flowers.   Thought there was too much - squished too many stitches in too small of a circle.

 -- Nanduti 1 Classes.

   

Ripped a lot out and gave another 'go'.   Knotted flowers changed to woven petals.  Larger 'grid' to practice the motif of woven/knotted areas.

(3 flower cluster DMC #12, Col 794 blue, 223 Rose, 676 Gold); outside ring 676 Gold, 316 Rose, 503 green; 2 Leaf made with DMC 928 & DMC 503; lg circle 316 rose, 676 grid/knots)

Practice on the flowers - they all need rings of knots near the outside circle.

single circles / floral:  Anchor 12, Col. 0968 and 0969.

The circle was challenging - Now that I have the hang of it.  I laced a new piece of fabric on a frame to try the circle pattern again.   Will try larger circle with grid / outside ring.   Maybe it will look better now that I understand the patterns.

Nanduti Medallion Class

 It is a start of the Nanduti Medallion Class.  Instructor Dawn Loving. We have several sessions to learn the patterns for each segment.   Virtual Education thru The Lace Museum.

I'm using Anchor Pearl cotton 12, Col. 1011 & DMC coton perle 12, Col. 3823.

Before the next class I will try to have two circles filled in. [Torre (tower) and Vaka Pysape (cow hoof) patterns].

It is exciting to learn new patterns in the circles and rings.  Should be an exceptional project once completed.

Nanduti Medallion prep for sessions ....

 

Prep for upcoming Nanduti Medallion:

Preparing for the next sessions of Nanduti thru the Lace Museum's virtual education classes.  This series of classes will be on a larger frame and fabric. Nanduti Medallion pattern taught by Dawn Loving.  link here.  I prepared 2 pieces of muslin fabric and used DMC Baroque Crochet Cotton to lace onto the frame.

Nanduti Lace is a traditional Paraguayan lace:

  I am still working on patterns from  past sessions.  I pulled them out last night and was amazed at how delicate they look (as WIPs).   It is a lot to learn (for me), even with an excellent instructor!    Perhaps this larger pattern will be easier to navigate.  And the sessions will be q o week instead of weekly.  

 

So, I have some time to put in more fiber - before the next sessions start in April.

I could not participate in these sessions without the support of my DH -- he knows how engrossed I get with textile art, community art projects, and learning new techniques.  Hours pass and I'm still at it into the wee hours of the morning.   PLUS, grateful to friends who have extra fibers in their stash to gift me - and organic beeswa from my girlfriend's spouse (from his bee hives).

I filled in my Lace Bingo card and emailed to Kelli Slack.
