Mr. Forager & I like to browse through thrift stores occasionally. He’s always hoping to score something or other needed for beer making and I love finding great deals on vintage and designer clothes. Every once in awhile, in our perusing, I spy a crocheted wall hanging, usually a bit worse for the wear, but it immediately takes me back to my aunt and uncle’s 1970s apartment! There are artists & artisans who are embracing the homespun weaving craft and giving it a decidedly artsy and modern edge. Here are a few contemporary woven tapestries I’ve spied recently–
Try Angles by Liz Toohey-Wiese

Maze by Hannah Waldron
Pink Windows by Mimi Jung
I just love how these weavings do warm and folksy in a way that is completely current! Have a wonderful weekend, Artsies!
