In Which I Curse My Ambition…
The trouble with being unable to submit Project 5 on time is that the neverending warp of sandy brown is just there. No change of colour, no alternative textures to break the monotony, until I splatter the warp with dye powders and then wet it whilst it is on the loom.
…Delays
Louet are making some improvements to the Magic Dobby, so production has been pushed back. This means I won’t get my new toy until the middle of January. Until then I will just dream of all the possibilities of 24 shafts…
…Progress (of sorts)
Finally! Progress is happening with Project 5. Look – I made pleats!!!
The pleats are currently being investigated to see what can be done to introduce a 3-D element to the work.
This is another idea I have explored, inspired in part by the work of Trudie Timlin Brown.
