Weave: Chosen Specialism

Tue 13^th Dec, 2016

                By using my ‘100 Objects’ and ‘Ordered Opposites’ work, I was able to build up a colour scheme that I am happy with and develop it to get a better understanding of the tones and shades of colour within it. From these colours I could start to transfer them into weave by creating colour wraps similar to paint stripes I had previously produced. The weave wraps worked really well and I was able to find yarns very similar to my colour palette; this made for a fluid transition into weave processes. I plan to continue developing my weave wraps to compare all possibilities of yarns before I move on.

                After developing my work from Tuesday more, the next step was to create yarn wraps that could be used as my warp. The ones I created today are a bit too chaotic and messy for what I am looking for. I think I need to work more on selecting my colours specifically so get solid blocks of colour to create a cleaner, crisper appearance. Over Christmas I will be developing all areas of my work so far and hopefully have an idea for a warp by the time I return.
