Woven Tides: The Captain's Loss (Magic Wallet Tag)

For May, the "Weave" prompt pulled me toward the high seas and the weathered life of an old Captain in 1788. This project, Woven Tides – The Captain’s Loss, explores the textures of maritime history and the stories left behind in the wreckage. ⚓📜 I used woven hessian strips to decorate and using inked calico to create a woven "Jacob’s Ladder" (Magic Wallet) interactive feature. The piece is filled with aged nautical charts, the mysterious "Legend of the Mermaid" 🧜‍♀️, and sea-stained ephemera. It’s a gritty, ink-heavy make that captures the salt and mystery of a life spent on the ocean. 🐚 THIS VIDEO IS NOT INTENDED FOR CHILDREN 🔵WATCH THE FULL SERIES My previous Grungy Tag Challenges for 2026:    • Grungy Tag Challenge 2026   🔵 GRUNGY TAG PEOPLE 2026 Lori ‪@pilesofparagraphs‬ Gayle ‪@gayleagostinelli_ct‬ Jo ‪@JosephinesCraftRoom‬ Katie ‪@iliketocutandpaste‬ Tammy ‪@loufrou-froustudio2026‬ 🔵 MY ETSY SHOP https://joeycardmaker.etsy.com 🔵 MY KO-FI FREEBIE SHOP https://ko-fi.com/joey_cardmaker 🔵 WEBSITE: https://joeycardmaker.com/ 🔵 SOCIAL MEDIA Instagram: joey_cardmaker Facebook: /joeycardmaker Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/joey_cardmaker Linktree: https://linktr.ee/joeycardmaker Take Care & Happy Crafting from Joey🦘🩷
