simple weaving

here is some pictures of my first foray into weaving. I found a kids loom in a charity shop at the end of last year... i LOVE weaving and am planning to get a rigid heddle loom next month and start experimenting

SPLAT!!

Some experimental drawings from earlier this year...
Ink splats joined up with lines of various thickness (done with 0.1 to 0.8 fine liners)
my two favourite working methods - random choas and detailed, time consuming and systematic... i like the resulting web patterns.

City Lights - first year Creative Art Practices course (2009/2010)

This started as a mini illustration project set at the start of my first year on the Creative Arts Practices course. The idea of doing backlit screen prints came when I was checking the placement of some cut-out holes with the piece of tracing paper I'd marked it up with... I liked the idea so much I continued it for the rest of the year and ended up with a series of 6 twisted building light boxes (OK, I've yet to build the boxes but you get the idea) The first four images are the final test pieces for the mini project, then there are some sketch book pages showing how the idea developed and the final images show the screen print images, the cut outs and the final combinations.
