With it being the last week or so on the loom, I wanted to make the most of the chance to move my work on and see how far I could push it.
Id been working with a colour palette of purple, navy, black, white and blue, However with the theme of Art deco, I felt like my pattern was lost within the multitude of my colour, so I went back throughout my sketchbook and had a look on how my drawing read across to me. I found they work so well in my sketchbook because the pattern isn't battling to be seen in-between colour, Its just black and white. With that, I went back and stripped back everything but black and white, and the occasional blue. I am finding that it is working so much better now that it did before.
Playing round with notations and working in more weft base weaves so that the pattern has a solid white back round to stand out on. As well adding in some weave manipulation, Which I really did like the idea of. I found a lot of the techniques I used on pinterest, and a few of them corresponded well with my drawn out pattern, so I worked them in, It proved to be a big difference in texture and appeal, rather than just a notation.
