Velvet on My Mind   Velvet Weaving, History and Practice

Velvet on My  Mind is being developed by Wendy Landry, handweaver and scholar.  Please be patient while she gets the material organized and finishes writing her book.  In the meantime, visit the About page for a brief introduction to this website and its intentions.  Other velvet weavers and textile afficionados are welcome to comment and make suggests for what they might want to see and find valuable.  In the meantime, please enjoy the velvet samples in my gallery.
