Lit'le Bitty Loom

I've been a little bit frustrated with the process of bead weaving during my last experiments.
I've found myself wrestling with the unfamiliar materials and their qualities as well as the process itself, (I haven't done much weaving in my life, and come to think on it most of that was 20+ years ago)
So tonight I figured I'd make myself a little loom and see how it helps.
