The concept of this weaving was heavily derived from my experimental weaving section that primarily used yellow and green. The colors inspired me to go in a more playful and childlike direction, hence the bright blocks, flowers, grass, and butterflies. I wanted the weaving to remind people of playing outside as a kid.
Since I stuck with three colors and repeated several patterns, I think it helped the weaving look more cohesive. However, I also would’ve loved to incorporate alternative patterns as well. For future projects I think I would spend more time designing the tapestry before I start to weave. I’d also focus on the edges more, reinforce my windows, and not pack too tightly.
If I were to do another iteration of this I would (1) make the tapestry 3-dimensional (weave a cube template and fold the weaving into an actual cube) (2) still stick with the color scheme so that it keeps the playful vibe (3) include the ria knot flowers but make them bigger and more prominent (4) braid the blank spaces and let them fold into the inside of the cube (5) pay attention to details and improve on the skills I’ve mentioned above.
