Pics to Picks Confidence & Time
You may have noticed how most of my posts are up on the same day! This is because of extreme lack of time and lack of confidence. I’ve found this in others post’s too, which is a comfort. Anyway, how do you design from an image when loom weaving has so many restraints and restrictions…

Pics to Picks – Print to Loom
Well here is the images of my bamboo experimentation with more to come. I’ve started with the sampling on the warp and will probably go with the fine bamboo weft which has a silky handle and soft ribbing effect. I don’t seem to be able to weave white successfully. I know it’s needed and we…

Pics to Picks – It’s a start
After receiving my design photos for Pics to Picks from Meg, I started having a play around, happily selecting from my new big box of prisma pencils grabbed at an Eckersley’s sale.

Bamboo Textile Patterns for Print
Stylised bamboo images are well known in textiles and wallpaper. I found these and liked the incorporation of the bamboo ‘seams’ and leaves together. My image for pics to picks didn’t have the leaves but they offer another dimension to the patterning. I also experimented with a peg plan possibility. But my experiments didn’t go…

Bamboo meets Ribbed Weave
Progessing with the Pics to Picks challenge I’ve managed to wind a long 9 metre warp onto my loom ready to test out some ideas and yarns in the weft. I know the warp is long (at least for me) and I promised myself that I wouldn’t put on long warps anymore because I get…
