This week I continued to do some plain weave samples, 'Simple, yet effective' to finish off the ideas I had started the previous week, instead of using the blue, mustard and red colour pallet, I decided to change things a little bit and focus on basing the colours on what my drawings look like, and colour theme that looks like most of the media that I have used, lots of oil bars, chalks, acrylic paint, pens and pencils in very dark tones, both heavy smudges and dainty lines fill my sketch book, having this by the side of me whilst weaving, really helped me to link my weaving patterns to my drawing.
I focused on one drawing imp articular this week, and decided I was going to unpick the colours that stood out from that piece of work, and create a weave composition to go along side my drawing.
The second part of the week after having a tutorial with Lesley, I wanted to move away from plain weave and focus more on trying to create patterns onto my warp, designs that linked in more with my drawing work, I thought a good way to create these kind of techniques for my samples would also be to experiment with different kinds of yarn, ones that are already dyed with a pattern on, ones that are thicker, such as mohair and wool, and ones that are much thinner like cotton and plastic, metal and copper yarns, these would also give another completely different finish to my samples.
Here below are two examples of where I started off.
