More Weavings

I had some time to create a few more weavings. I decided to go a little more geometric this time around. For more of my artwork visit my tumblr at  http://benminard.tumblr.com/

This one took the longest, however I enjoy this weaving the most. The shaggy part is called Rya and is a frequently utilized technique in regards to loom weaving. I learned the methods of Rya weaving from various videos on Youtube.

This was a smaller project that only took a few days. I enjoy the simplicity in this one.

Polaroid Camera

I almost forgot! This was actually my first find at The Bargain Barn: A Polaroid One Step SX 70 Land Camera. I found this buried treasure tucked away in a handy little bag. (which I believe is the original case for the camera) Along with the bag and camera came the original Users Manual. All this great stuff for only 6 bucks! 

However, for only six dollars I am doubtful it is in working condition. I still need to buy film to see if it is running smoothly. If only film wasn't so expensive. Here is a better look at the camera and its (original) case.

Here are some examples of photographs taken from a similar camera! I love the square format and discolored look to these photos.
