It has been the most wonderful day in the studio. Now that the loom is all threaded up I've been able to start the actual weaving. When I first saw the levers and combinations to making the different patters on the loom my heartbeat was racing- it looked absolutely terrifying! In reality, once I'd got my head around the process there was no stopping me! In comparison to the threading up, weaving seems to be much easier and a lot less time consuming.
I have absolutely loved creating this first sample- so far I have experimented with just a plain weave, and another called 'floats'. I just cannot wait to get back in the studio next week to carry on experimenting!!
