\n Experimental Weaving<\/h2>\n\n <\/a> <\/div>\n<\/figcaption>\n <\/figure>\n <\/div>\n \n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n\n\n

During the experimental portion of the project, when I was getting a feel for weaving and what I liked about it, I especially enjoyed the contrast that you could make with the dyed wool. This helped clarify what I wanted to do for my final piece, which would highlight contrasting color fields that each featured a different method of weaving I particularly enjoyed. I wanted to create a 3D effect with the rya knots in the first field, jumping out of the page in a mess. Then, I moved towards the flat interlocked section and eventually a window through the piece. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think that the contrast between the sections worked well, especially when coupled with the different methods of making a circle (rya, flat, window). I think this works well because the sections are clear cut and each have their own feeling\/brightness to them. However, I think I would put more thought into the solid fields in the future and possibly try a pattern like horizontal\/vertical stripes within them. Also, my \u201ccircles\u201d didn\u2019t exactly look like circles and I would\u2019ve liked them to be more planned out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From doing this project I have a greater appreciation for clean lines\/perfection in professional weavings. Even the smallest mistake, like not having a tight selvedge or skipping a warp had a permanent impact that was hard to fix after moving forward a few lines. In the future, I think I would like to explore more with different techniques and using the warps in interesting ways rather than hiding them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FIVE DIRECTIONS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Different shapes, possibly hearts or stars in the middle of the fields rather than circles<\/li>
  2. Swap out colors of warps to highlight the window portion\/multicolor possibilities<\/li>
  3. Eliminate the sections in favor of a gradient with shortening rya knots going to flat interlocking to a widening window that eventually takes up the whole loom<\/li>
  4. Change colors to be less contrasting and more complementary\/pleasing to the eye<\/li>
  5. Alter the window portion to have a weblike structure \u201csupporting\u201d it, sectioning off parts of the warps like Jennifer\u2019s piece that go towards the center window<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
