In our continuing series, here are the first projects from two other weavers.
Marcy hasn't been weaving very long and her current pieces are excellent. Here are a couple of pieces that she wove early on.

Ingrid has been weaving for over 20 years. She got her start in a studio in Michigan with a very talented teacher and lots of supportive weavers. The first thing she wove was a classic sampler, trying to figure out how to actually weave and then to be able to follow a draft.

At an early dye class, she learned how to tie up warp for ikat dying. The colors were pretty wild, but a couple of pieces came out of that class.

She also attempted making fabric from rags - California Rag technique, developed by Trudie Roberts. From that she made a jacket.
