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.

Not the earliest morning...

I awarded myself an accidental lie-in. I just couldn't stay awake at 7am.
I'm waiting for the bathroom to free up, so I thought I'd post the update on my weaving so far...

First warp:




my entire set of pintucked samples!


I crammed and spaced the warp and painted it...the colours are beautiful!






the denser and lighter areas of warp give really interesting textures and varying depths and intensity of colour, I'm so pleased that I painted it!


I've yet to photograph this one in it's finished state!



Now for this weeks warp! I've only completed one sample, but I've been learning techniques, which I shall explain later, or tomorrow, as I've left all the photocopies under the loom! I think theyre called Danish Medallions though? (a quick google says I'm right!)
