Part Four: Project Nine – Stage Three.

EXPERIMENTING WITH DIFFERENT STRUCTURES

Just in case I forget here is the back side of the first sample of textile weaving.

The materials were vast and varied as were the outcomes. As mentioned previously the warp threads are obvious and I need to work out how to make them more invisible and the finished piece needs further work on how to finish off the hanging weft threads. There is a combination of materials making for an interesting texture and finish to the piece. Primary colours are predominant and lift the visual impression where they are in a greater proportion to the secondary colours.Placing the weft through the shed with the fingers was not used as much as a threaded sack needle when appropriate that is the material was too thick to go through the eye of the needle. Loft and heighth was achieved with un cut pile and thick cord knotted around the warp threads.
