Some Work

I haven't really posted all that much of my work since I've finished it off.

So...here are the highlights. Haha.



Elastic extra warp creating a pintuck effect


Elastic extra warp. It has pulled tighter on one side than the other, hmm.


Elastic weft. I like the contrast between the flat and rippled areas.


Danish medallion technique with varying thickness yarns.


Danish medallion technique with thick elastic. Created a really interesting texture.


Mohair pintucks.


Mohair and linen. Like the difference in texture, hairy mossy mohair and the rough linen.


My favourite, floats and a dip-dyed warp.

Back to the Loom

Yes, I'm back to weaving again. I put on perhaps my largest warp yet, 30 inch wide and 14 foot long.
I can't wait to see how it turns out, but I still have the long task of threading it up!
Here's a few photos of it going on. I love the dip-dyed stripes!

Neglect.

I've been so horrendously busy these past few weeks.
Just handed in my first (and penultimate) project of my final year.
I am relieved, but sad. Though incredibly excited for January/February and the project I have planned, if I pull this off, then I'll be so pleased.

I have a whole host of images to post from a recent trip to Oxford. I'll have to do it tonight when I'm safely tucked up by the fire.

Lack of Communication

I managed to move back to Nottingham relatively hassle free.
We just had to survive the past week and a half without the internet. Ha, I say it like it's one of the most difficult things to do. The novelty has almost worn off already. I feel like I ought to be getting on with some drawing, or painting.

Three days in to a new year and I already feel snowed under with work. It's nice to be back though, to feel motivated towards something.
This terms theme: Native Americans.
I'm about to go surfing the blogs of the world for some inspiring images.
I'll finish with a photo of the first page of my sketchbook.
