Recently, I have been playing around with my small pin looms using them in a different way. I put the warp on the bottom and top pins and leave the sides free. The yarns are from an assortment of odds and ends that I keep in a basket. I wanted to play with colors and different techniques with the one rule of not having any rules. That statement makes me chuckle because I am rule a follower, but once in a rare while, I just want to play.
I am quite pleased with this experimental weaving. I like the hints of the red warp peeking out. The small yellow square is done using a Tapestry technique called Weft Interlock. I had never tried it but understood how it was suppose to be done, so I took a stab at it. Weaving can be unwoven so it's not a huge commitment on my part. One of the nice things about weaving this way is that I can just pop the weaving off the pins when I am done. All selvedges are finished.
Where did I get my color inspirations from? I recently visited my sister and this is her living room. I knew I wanted to create something using this same palette. That is how my mind works. I get inspired by everyday things or my environment.
Are you inspired by colors?
