Dash and Miller- Week One..

Using the same warp from my Self-Initiated brief, I decided to develop this further into the Dash and Miller Live project; by working with what I already had it allowed me to save time, and to expand and experiment more with the work I had already done.

I started off by re-reeding the warp allowing me to split up the warp into two halves, creating two six inch samples with a small gap in the middle. I would then have the choice to either cut the samples into two or keep them as a larger sample with a non-woven float in the middle. On one half of the warp I tied in a variety of yarns including mohair, glitter lycras and 2/16s cotton.

Using both thick and thin yarns and plain weave I tightly beated down my samples to create high density samples. My selections of yarn allowed me to create both style and movement within my work.
