Weaving bands is something I come back to pretty regularly. Recently it's been in the context of loosely recreating ancient weaving practices like warp weighted weaving.
Here are some card woven bands I've made, I think arranged in the order I made them, with the earliest example on the left and most recent on the right.
I love how card weaving makes elaborate patterning possible while creating a dense and consistent band. It can also be used to weave bands with text, which is what I have on the band loom right now.
I use this process as part of setting up the warp weighted loom, and I also just find bands very useful to have around and fun to make into things or to wrap gifts with.
Also, I'm hoping that adding a caption to an image gives it that as alt-text? If not and someone wants to correct me on this I'd appreciate it, I'd like to be adding alt text to images properly
