I am delighted to have been invited back to the HDLI Guitar Show on May 31st at Rio Bravo Brewing in Albuquerque! The show is an educational and art-based experience that is intended to inspire its vendors and visitors. It is based on personal invitation and includes the whole spectrum of stringed-instrument makers, as well as luthier-adjacent makers of accessories. I'll be there weaving! There is live music all day long!

Wow! I did my first ever clasped warp and I like it! Only one thread this time, but it is only the beginning. This technique will figure into some of my landscape pieces that I am planning. Thanks to Anne Dixon’s, The Weavers Inkle Pattern Directory for the idea! ##inkleweavingiscool

These 2 are the same, with only one color change. They are wool sashes. The one on the right is available in my Etsy shop, /iweavesashes. The one on the left was a commission. The customer asked me to switch out the rusty orange for a dark green. Do you have a preference?

I love this one! My customer sent me some designs from Colombia and I drew it out in speckled pickup. Looks like the yarns will be a good match for his tenor ukulele's burst colors. #ukulelestrap #custom #handwoven #strap #ukulele #inkleweaving #AnnieMacHale #inklepickup #bandweaving #weaverguitarstraps #weaversofinstagram

What's on the loom today? A custom guitar strap. I like the contrast of the Fuchsia and Navy Blue, the simplicity and crispness of the 2-color design. #inkleweaving #customguitarstrap #weaverguitarstraps #AnnieMacHale #inklepickup #bandweaving #wovenonaschacht

Here I go again trying to guess how to interpret my customer's stated preferences...... #mandolinstraps #inkleweaving #AnnieMacHale #inklepickup #bandweaving #wovenonaschacht #handwoven

This photo shows 2 sides of the same strap. Which do you like better? I think the new owner will have to choose. It is just listed in my Etsy shop, WeaverGuitarStraps.Etsy.com #guitarstrap #weaverguitarstraps #playwithcolor #handwoven #buyitonetsy #inkleweaving #inkleannie

I'm keeping this one! The colors are so pretty! Finally, I have one to match this purse. I ordered more of this hardware and plan to add these straps to my Etsy inventory as soon as I get caught up with commissions. With clips like this, you can attach to anything you carry! #inkleweaving #weaversofinstagram #pursestrap #pursereplacement #handwoven #strap #inkleAnnie #AnnieMacHale
