Speaking of PVC piping, here's another invention

Some talk on another blog about PVC pipe, to use as a frame for embroidery got me thinking.

 I love this material because you can build endlessly with it. I've made embroidery frames, a niddy noddy, several tapestry looms, all from the same basic bits and connectors. Since I can easily reassemble them into what I need,they can shape shift at will.



Here I deconstructed parts of a tapestry loom to get the members, and searched my bag of connectors and was able to create a hanger system for cardigans, now installed in the right closet.

I still have a couple of 8ft pipes which I can cut down to complete the base of this gizmo, to make it more stable, and make another for other sweaters.

This came about as I was wondering about buying a rack like the handy pants rack I bought a while ago. But I thought it would be more fun to just assemble one and see how it works. No tools needed.

No lights in the closet where it's set up, so I did the pic where I built it.

Rube Goldberg would be proud.
