INSPIRATION BOARD AND WOVEN SAMPLES
|
This project involved an intensive learning into hand loom mechanisms and the technicalities of complex weaving methods. It encircled discovering layers and creation of these layers by using the hand loom as a medium of expression.
My inspiration for this project lies in the work of the editor ' Osborne and Little'. I was inspired to create samples that were eclectic and fresh with outbursts of colour as accents. I wove my samples based on the mood and colour of my Inspiration board. I designed the weaves and implemented them on the hand loom. The types of weaves consist of Double Cloth, Extra Weft and Backed fabric. Playing with the idea of blocking in the warp and using bright colours as accents but still finding a balance in each sample made this an enjoyable adventure. |
