Weave bud, ready for bloom

These two images are my preparation for the big P2P2 reveal. I’ve been working with the purples from the mandala image and  a box of purple wools I have. The weave is interspersed with hand dyed chenelle warp thrums and stainless steel silk to give a crinkled look.

Here you can see the beginnings of the completed weave, off the loom, washed and ready to bloom in a bud like state. I’m also going to add the other weave based on the blue/purple potatoes so the finished textile really does form a reflection of a couple of the images that chewidox sent me.
