weaving.

during this week, we have been taught to weave on hand made looms as part of the sustainability project. 

i made a giant loom at home to create a big weave made of material scraps.

i used a selection of different vintage blue fabrics from my amaaaazing material box which i found at a carboot in devon for £10.

knit samples

during my art foundation i have been taught how to use the domestic knitting machines. they are AMAZING. 

you can create really interesting samples by using the pattern feature.

and with the dodgy samples i used them in other work. 

sketchbook decorations;

i also like to incorporate them within photography and mixed media collages. 

this is the image that triggered my dream project.
