At beginning of workshop four, I came down with a bad bout of flu and tonsililtis, setting me back a fair amount in the set up of my loom for weave. Having come back feeling a lot better and coming in everyday for 2 weeks 9.30 to 4.30, I have caught up.
Im really pleased with the weaving i have done, although a slow process the result are great. I have found it hard interlinking my subject with the workshop of weave, and machine embroidery flows much better with it. Although i feel that my subject has allowed me to 'think outside the box' within weave. I havent stuck to the ordinary. I feel my most succesful sample is where i have printed one of my images onto asatate, cut it up and weaved it in to my warp. Using a weft of wire, it has allowed me to manipulate my image further. I used the young face within this sample and the warp threads running across the face almost disguise it as being old. I have tried to create an opposite and play around with the face, and identity.
