End of Semester

 Just had my review this past Friday. It went fairly well. I got 8 pieces done and painted one warp. Though I fell like I should have gotten more done :/
I'll have a more detailed description of each piece once I have all my photos sorted out.




I'm glad I took a photo of these guys. I made them for the Fibers Fundraiser at the beginning of the month. They didn't sell well so I gave them to my friends as christmas gifts.

Current Weaving Project

And so it begins! I've been experimenting with color and structure weavings for my studio work and for this project I wanted to see what kind would happen if I dyed the warp leaving it in a chain.  The warp is made of 8/2 tencel at 24 epi. It's 11yrds long consisting of 5 pieces.


 After taking it off the warping mill I boiled the chain just to make sure I had a good resist.


 
 I made a bunch of colors while the chain was boiling and soaking in soda ash.


 
 Oh look it's me!


 
Looks like the chain might be a little too tight. There's a chance there might be more white on the warp than I originally intended it to be.  We'll see what happens...

All photos in this post was taken by the lovely Tory.
