Weaving..

      

The above pictures are my intake of drawing and mark making, my way of expressing the drawing side of weave, these drawings are my way to link the whole weave process together, the colours and vibrant lashes of pattern are the perfect reality of weaving, the reason that I chose the blood red, shocking pink, electric blue, the dashes of a multicolour rainbow and the sparkle of gold and silver, amongst the deathly black shadows was so that my samples are linking to my drawing and research work. 

My first initial idea was to focus on fairgrounds as a whole but as time has gone on, and my work has continued to develop, I have been more focused on the structures of fairgrounds and there landscape view at night, this is being shown through both my sampling and drawing. 

The weave that I have created is one large media piece, that's full off embellishment, threads, yarns, jewels, sequins, ribbons, cords, binds, bands, pompoms and a range of material is all what makes up my structured piece of work. 

The reason that I decided to set up my warp and continue my weft with a striped pattern base was because I wanted to create a look of tracks and structure, a sort of journey that you can follow, just like the tracks of a fairground ride, this is the reason why I also thought about colours, media and texture, I wanted to make sure that I chose materials that are going to give the right idea for my unit of work, this theme follows throughout my whole project.
