My dear friend, Terri Bibby, is a weaver extraordinaire.
She teaches and practices the art of Saori weaving, and weaving as a contemplative, peacemaking process.
She’s an amazing, gentle and wonderful soul that I am blessed to call friend.
Terri has a lovely blog, and she has just posted instructions on how to make ‘bookmark looms’ from foamcore. So, if you want a simple introduction to weaving, check out her blog:

You’ll be glad you did…..

Thanks so much Noreen! I had written a post on my blog about weaving with the women at the Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre in Vancouver and I mentioned that besides the SAORI loom and the Peace Banners we were making, I took along some simple Foamcore looms so that the women could continue weaving and make things for themselves and for others.
I had many requests for more information on these little looms and so did this series of posts.
Yes, I remember that, Terri
I am thrilled at the way you are using weaving as a healing art. You are opening all kinds of doorways with this gentle, ancient artform. Bless your heart!
