Dyed Warp |
Using colors in the warp, I did some weaving.
The first part was woven with purple, then I switched to green. I had looked at a pattern weaving done on a rigid heddle loom with pick up sticks and thought - I want to try that on my loom. Let me show you a couple of close-ups.

I am enjoying the interesting color variations on this dyed warp.
The episode of The Quilt Show that premiered today has Katie Pasquini Masopust as the visiting artist. She did a demo of using grids for quilt design. I was inspired to grab a clipboard, paper, ruler and pen to play for a bit. While I don't think I will be following the same path that she used with it, I did design a grid for a possible art quilt.
There are a lot of possibilities here. I love the dimensional effect that I achieved with just straight lines on paper. Only time will tell which direction this may go - or if it will go in the "un-used idea" storage bin.

I'm glad to hear that you're feeling better and are taking it easy until you get your strength back - no sense overdoing it before you're ready and then getting sick again.
Your warp is really pretty - I like the green/purple combination - and your "floating" patterns give it that "extra" little touch. Your "grid" reminds me of long ago "perspective" designs in art class - it would make a very interesting piece - ;))
Happy to hear you are on the mend, Gene. Your weaving is in some of my favorite colors. Do you have plans for this piece?
I need to watch more of The Quilt Show. The episodes that I have taken the time to watch have been very inspiring.
I love that woven piece! Glad you are feeling better!
That weave is great! I think your grid would make a great quilt. I wonder what it would look like in black and white? Interesting concept.
