For this warp I tried to incorporate my colour wraps in the warp more, however, I only picked some of the colours I put on a light grey silk in a straight draw over 8 shaft and the orange and green stripes are over 4 shafts each. For the next warp I've to try following my colour wrap exactly as I am missing out the accurate colour proportions and tones in them. I did try to show the other colours in the weft though.
I put the orange and green on a seperate beam and shafts so I could try 'scribbling' this was my first failed attempt at it. Im not sure what happened here but I think i loosened the beam off too much and pulled too much through and made it a bit loopy.
Here I gave it another attempt and made sure each of them weaved in each time. I found if I moved the warp too much either way though the base fabric would also move and become gappy. In the book I read about it it called this a supplementary warp Im not sure if I was to pull these threads through the heddles as well or if so should those shafts been lifted or not. Overall it was very tricky and time consuming and Im not too happy with the result if anyone has any tips or advice about scribbling it would be greatly appreciated.
Here I only moved the threads a little each way and it worked better but still not as free flowing and wavy as I would of hoped. Also was playing about with inlays here.
Tried a combination of twills one warp faced and one weft face to get the shiny orange rayon to appear like it is sitting on the surface to mimic another drawing quite like this and would work well for translating other drawings.
