Before I became too focused on weaving at the
loom I decided that now was my time to do some real experimenting in other
areas of the course. I chose to look closely at the very first drawing I did
for this project, along with a few others. I decided to do a collection of iron
on transfer samples, on a synthetic cotton material which allowed the colours
to be more vibrant on the surface of the fabric - just the look I was aiming for.
To push my samples on further I then went on to
the embellishing machine, and gathered together specific areas of the weave. I
did this by pulling the fibres together,
which in turn created movement in the fabric. This was something I felt
worked really well and will be a technique I will be including in my woven
sampling.
