Direct warp painting on a Schacht Flip rigid heddle loom

Using simple fabric paints and cotton warp yarn, create and design warp patterns directly onto the Schacht Flip rigid heddle loom. Use the idea for direct warp painting as a jumping off point-- use thickened fiber reactive dyes, soy wax as a resist and dye the woven fabric (the waxed portion will remain undyed in the pattern prior to removal), stamping, 2 heddles for fine yarns and detailed designs, paint over handdyed multicolor warps for even more variety. Or, just set up the loom as described for a fun weaving project for both adults and kids.
