Photoshop has been a key tool in developing some of the photographs and drawings I've collected, using techniques such as layering and repeat have been particularly effective. These new techniques I have been experimenting with have given me ample amounts of inspiration to incorporate into to weaving, the only problem I'll have is to fit them all in.
Photoshop's inspired by my first weaving samples
The first Photoshop's I
made were taught to me by a friend, the technique layering is well
suited to weaving due to its ability to mimic the, at times,
contrasting warp and weft; this is due to the different colour combinations that can be
found when over lapping certain coloured and textured images.
Experimenting with repeating patterns
Margo Selby fabric design
In my latest Photoshop I have experimented with minimising a textured drawing and repeating it. The outcome was very successful; two different patterns were created by merely reducing the size by around three hundred per cent, the larger of the two patterns displays more texture through the vivid white lines an aspect I am interested to investigate further. The flowing aspect of my patterns reminded me of the weave designer Margo Selby and her intricately brilliant jacquard loom designs. I believe that Photoshop will be an essential tool in my continuing weave development helping me to identify features and links such as the one above.
