Alphabelt (work in progress)

I bought Linda Hendrickson's wonderful book "Weave a letter" and so just had to try double faced tablet weaving. Peter Collingwood has made some fantastic belts using this technique, often with jokes and puns - I like his idea of weaving a belt with the letters b,e,l,t woven in opposite colours to the rest of the alphsabet, so I 'borrowed' it.

Here's the work in progress using an Ashford inkle loom to hold the warp. The tablets are a pack of square playing cards with a circular hole in the middle. The hole is so the pack could fit on the neck of a beer bottle, and was given away as a promotional gift by Bateman's brewery here in the UK on a bottle of Xmas ale a few years ago - wish I could find another couple of packs. The beer was nice too!
