New Paltz, New York, USA. A partially completed rug being created on the large loom in the attic of the Abraham Hasbrouck House, built in about 1721. One small window provided the light by which the weaver could perform his or her work. Enjoy!

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
I used to make rugs like this when I was a kid, on a 1x4 frame and short nails holding the binding threads. Nice image here... I like all the various lines and the negative space created by the shadows.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
Great capture, can you imagine stringing that thing. Super angle on your shot. Terrific work.

I like the light / shadow play on the rug & loom. I'm sure there is alot of history to be seen in that house & hope you share more. An excellent & interesting post, Thad.

Good to see you've been keeping yourself busy and taking up a new hobby at the old homestead. You have all winter to weave Welcome into the design. An interesting find and nice capture Thad.

Criticism, like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish a man's growth without destroying his roots. — Frank A. Clark
The lighting is so good in this shot Thad - it highlights just perfectly.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
Great lighting, and excellent colors in this Thad.

Earle Bruce quote on the Ohio State Buckeyes Football team...."You can't build a wining program by loosing."....(Well Duh!)
Great shot of a piece of history Thad.
Weaving is very hard work and must have been doubly difficult with such poor light conditions.
I have a friend who owns a loom - I love the click-clack noise as it is worked.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Terrific image of the loom Thad and fine display of the various levels of light.
