With my tonal warp on, this now gave me a good opportunity
to focus on colour and see exactly how much I could experiment with the weft to
my weaving - the most exciting part.
I quickly found that the plain weave and satin structure
worked best along with the bright chunky wools and mohair. This allowed me to
experiment with something new in terms of the blending of colours from my
photographs. I decided to brush and tease the fibres of my sample to
create a very similar look to my research. Both heavy and light brushing
affects were used to create two different finishes to my samples.
Georgia Fisher, the winner of Texprint 2015 also has a very
similar way of working. Straight away I fell in love with her unique way of
weaving, using fine yarns with interactive fibres that allowed her to
tease her samples to create brushed affects. This finish is a very similar
look to my own work.
