Tapestry Weaving Assignment – Erica Fu – 62-150A: Introduction to Textile Media

I weaved a landscape of a flowery hill on a summer day. I discovered that there is a lot of potential in using a unique item to hold up the weaving so that it continues a certain theme or idea the artist wants to convey. Using the stick for me continued the natural aesthetic of my weaving and meshed well with the natural chaos of the weaving ends. I really enjoyed creating the piece and like the overall shape of everything, even the backside of it. However, I wish the form of the top and bottom edge were more consistent with my intentions. I tried to adjust the top side of the weaving so it was more wavy like the hill, but that shape did not translate well after I ended the warp. Overall, this was really fun and I enjoyed experimenting with textures.
