New Weaving


Here is my first completed weaving project from this term, called Moon and Bamboo. It all started here.
I was working with the following techniques: transparency- a loose, delicate weave structure; inlay- weaving different coloured weft in a decorative way into the weave structure (the circle and circle within the circle); and painted warp- the green vertical shapes were stenciled onto the warp before weaving.
Phew! It's nice to be done.

Sorry if you can't see the picture. It was up earlier today and yesterday. I've been having trouble with Firefox and/or Blogspot of late. Hopefully it will be back up soon.

I love the way the moon circles seem to emerge from the bamboo stripes... It sure is beautiful, but I must say it is a mystery how you can achieve that on a loom!
