A Warp Dyed

                          Nature, Natural, 3D

        The start of dyeing warps and weaving them. The gave the first of these as a thank you but forgot to photograph. These two have been seen in local exhibition in March. 

Two of three from warp.

          I liked making the frames for these, painting the timbers, the work also included branches and some alpaca given to me from some kind locals, that I dyed and felted.

         Weaving away in the studio, using both plain weave and a Huck lace from my favourite weave book (a gift).

Alpaca dyed and both wet & needle felted.

            I have been exploring other ideas with patterns and coloured weft. So a little bit woven to see and further the possibilities.

Testing idea for future weaves. 

            The front woven plain weave for panel, at this stage I was thinking a different end item. I may still do my original idea.

Abstract is back

 

It has been happening while I figure out why the seem to make themselves with only myself getting fun from knowing that I have dyed the wool and removing what others might think of as rules. To me itself about shape, both deliberate and accidental as that has been my life for the last year.

 

 

These are how does one respond to texture, shape, form, perfection and faulty?

 

To leave the yarn has challenged some people but to myself it is how I need to let the piece be with it and me in harmony about the outcome.
