Lets start weaving.. (Week one)

This week I started weaving onto my loom, inter locking my yarn through my weft onto my warp, I have started off by weaving basic plain weave, using my colour pallet carefully so that it links in with my development work, the best way I felt that I could show a clear connection is to keep my skecth book along side of me through out my weaving process.
The three pictures here below are two of my first samples, very basic plain weave to start me off has
turned out much better than I thought, I was concerned it was going to too basic and not look like much is going on, but I feel the complete oposite, very happy with the start that I have made.
Having my skecth book along side of me allowed me to make sure that I had the right kind of proportions for each of the yarns, and the patterns that I was going by had some relation to my drawing work.



After taking a second glance at my first few samples, not only myself but my fellow peers and tutor also noticed that my work was very similar to the well known brand 'Burberry' my choice of warp colours can especially highlight the reason why I can back this suggestion up, here is a picture of the 'Burberry' brand below, I Will be keeping this idea close to mind, to see if in the future the success of my work can be such as big as theres.
