I had to make a bio page for an art gallery show I'm in, and tho I couldn't upload it here, I was able to more or less recreate it on my facebook page here:

It's weighted toward printmaking because that's what I've got in the show. ;-j

Double Woven Edges
Brilliant! Check out Alice Schlein's Weaverly blog post featuring double woven edges:

I detest weaving edges, whether on a shawl or a towel, what-have-you. Fringe takes forever to twine, and I don't like leaving it loose. I've never cared for folding over and sewing either. But this technique shows promise.
Start and end with double weave (and on a later post she shows you how to do that even on 4 harnesses:
http://weaverly.typepad.com/weaverly/2011/11/double-weave-hems.html). When off the loom tuck the ends into the "tube" and whip closed. Nice clear finish. 8-]

My SCA Device
This is the mini-tapestry of my device for the Laurel's Cope. I'm unsure how to deal with the back of the tapestry. I've only ever mounted mini-tapestries to be framed, never to be work on a garment as a badge, and I'm unsure what is required.

And here it is on the Laurel's Cope at Coronation. 8-]
Sneaking a try-out of the cope. ;->
