Weave Juice

Although I’ve been busy doing non-textile things 🙁  I’m still in there gearing up for new design and teaching ideas in weave.  
A game using random weave ideas to build textile innovation by Ann Sutton (Ideas in Weaving – Sutton and Sheehan) has always inspired me (just as anything Ann Sutton has done)  and I recently converted my homemade cardboard make dos with some lovely new cards from moo.  As I had 100 unique card opportunites with moo printers,  I added some extra ideas and modified some of Anns to incorporate some new yarns and new techniques.
For example, new to the mix is some emotions…passion, jealousy, confusion and seasons… winter.  What ideas do these words conjure up in relation to weave textiles? 
The idea is to choose several cards from the pack and ‘unite’ the ideas into a cloth. If any of the choices are incompatable you grab another card.  Of course some things can be very challenging when presented as a design option like; ‘Use shades and varieties of white only’. Yikes- very difficult to me – I need the colour – but just maybe that’s the sort of challenge I need to bring on the WEAVE JUICES.

    What a lovely idea – so much more exciting and appealing than chopped up index cards! Your weaving life deserves the best.

    You may have something marketable, here. I love the idea of including emotions and seasons.
