Tablet-Woven Calligraphy by Linda Hendrickson -- Pangram Bands from "Please Weave a Message"

Linda Hendrickson shows the pangram bands that she wove to illustrate her book "Please Weave a Message: Instructions and Graphs for Tablet-Woven Calligraphy", as well as some of graphs. The book contains graphs for letters based on six historic scripts and fonts: Uncial, Textura Quadrata, Humanist Bookhand, Italic, Legend, and Gill Sans.

Tablet weaving is the technique used to weave the bands, and the structure is known as the double-faced weave, or more technically, 3-span warp floats in alternate alignment.

Detailed photographs of all six of these bands are in the Tablet Weaving Gallery on Linda's website lindahendrickson.com. You can also order the book from Linda's website.
