1.3.5 Weave Samples

Weave Samples

Unfortunately I have found the first half of Unit X, weave, rather tough. When I designed my warp I chose to make it natural and add colour through the weft, I also chose to make it wide with five different width sections to add variation to my work by using all or only some of the warp. As I began to work on samples I encountered my disappointments with my colour pallet and patterns.

Coloured Weft Samples


My first set back was my warp, as it refused to stay tightly woven near the spaces (above left-hand image), to rectify this I worked on a maximum of two section of the warp. This did not effect my work much as I was still able to add subtle textures through the weave pattern and textures through the yarns. However I was bitterly upset with my colour pallet, I found it extremely difficult to add the bright fairground colours to my pale warp while keeping the design effective. Again I found a solution to this problem, Dying (top images). I found this to be quite effective as the ombre colour reminded me of the flowing of the thrill rides.
