Differences

The work is off the loom, it's not yet finished as it should but i give you a sneak preview. It is composed in four parts. In fact it is one picture divided in four, but the selvages cut away part of the image.






















I also give you some picture of details, front and back:
and even a closer view...

Exhibition

For the first time i have actually finished my TC1 weavings, it is all prepared for exhibiting!
And yes, when i say  i'm happy with the results, it is an understatement.

It are the weavings i finished this summer.  At the moment they are hanging in my living room but next week they will be presented in a group exhibition 'Meet the teacher'. You are all invited...

Limited

I ran into the limits of my cad program, i wanted to use 11 wefts but i can only program 9.
So i had to decide which colours i would drop or rather create them by colour mixing.
I dropped light purple and grayish green.
The image also turns out square, not rectangular as in the original design. But this i think is not a problem it looks ok.

Designing...

I'm trying to make a very colorful design, using 11 wefts but I don't know if this is realistic.
The teletubies weaving in which i used 7 wefts turned out well. There are still some technical problems with the loom, some hooks don't perform well. I skipped some hooks but apparently not enough.
This is what the design looks like, it is one part of four matching pieces. But first see how this one turns out. These are the weft colours i selected:
The warp is black as their is enough left on the loom.
