Assignment 4 - Project 8 - Stage 2 - Experimenting with Structures - Exercise 1

This exercise involved making woven pieces, starting with paper. Starting with simple squares cut from magazines.

Looking at the back of the weaves was also interesting and revealed quite different colours.

Playing with assymetric shapes, non-square grids, hand-painted paper and curves.

Using other materials and varying the weave structures.

Upholstery leather and viscose fabric strips.

Mexican God's Eyes using hand-dyed wool, sticks and twine.

 Hessian sack fabric with threads removed to create weft spaces, interwoven with textured threads and yarn. The threads were left loopy to add extra texture.

There is plenty of scope here to carry on forever!
