Walnut and tiger maple are the woods chosen by Dave for this beautiful spindle. He has used pyrography (burn etching) to adorn the notched 2 1/2 inch walnut whorl with his signature leaf motif. The overall length of the tiger maple shaft, including the brass hook, is 10 inches and the weight is 1.1 ounce.

If I were guessing, this could have come from river rock along the Mississippi River. I believe it came in a bag of river rock recently purchased. This could be a crude spindle whorl used for weaving. My guess is that it was made by the indigenous inhabitants in the area or Early American settlers.

I wove a 2x6” bookmark on the Weavette loom, following the instructions in Modular Textures: Patterns for the Weavette & Weave-It Looms Volume 1 by Licia Conforti. Woven in plain weave.
I used Ashland Bay Sandalwood Merino roving, spun on a homemade drop spindle.
This "Pencil Art" image was produced from an image of colour pencils and then manipulated in Photoshop CS. The resulting images are very huge and have been put onto a black background because this shows the colours most effectively.
I have been producing "Pencil Art" for around two years now and every so often I add to my growing portfolio of work.

When this vendor saw that I wanted to photograph these beautiful drop spindles he volunteered to remove all the tags he had on each of them so I could get a better shot. Everybody I encountered at the show was really nice!

A small sample from my spindle collection. Most of them were given to me by very special people, and one was custom made by a local woodturner.
