Warp 2

 This draft was a broken curved twill that progressed 2 shafts each time it repeated. I was trying to create the wavey 'S' shapes in my drawing.

 I was also trying to mimic the opaque white sitting next to more transparent shades and have tried out a variety of yarns to achieve this. I thought the embroidery silk with the white floss worked best for this.

Here I have tried the embroidery silk and white floss in sections by themselves. I didnt realise how elastic the floss was till I took it off the loom and it drew right in Im undecided whether I like this or not.

 Here I tried to add in colour from one of my colour wraps I dont know if its too much though. I also tried reversing the pattern in sections to see if it would make it look like the 's' shapes are overlapped like in the drawing Im not sure how successful this has been :-/ I think the combination of these 2 is what caused a fellow weaver to describe this sample as 'groovy' oh dear! I think she has a point I think its possibly a bit too much going on.

I decided after this to try just a section of that palette in a smaller area I think this works a lot better.

Tried another palette this ones a bit more subtle as well hard to tell in the picture but its a mixture of pale almost white shades of green, yellow and mushroom colours. This and the last work best I think because the pattern can only be seen in section so it isn't overwhelming

 This was the same warp but I redrew it and added in a white rayon it was only over 4 shafts but the colour sequence changed each time which made it a bit more tricky I was trying to recreate one of my firework drawings.

It does look like lots of little explosions if you squint your eyes a bit. Looks sort of fireworkish at least but it doesnt look too much like my drawing unfortunately. Overall not happy with this one, meh, would probably like it more if it was in colour.
