The first six inches of weaving.
I am experimenting a bit to see how the cloth changes when I weave with a black weft versus a white weft. I am also considering overdying some of this later.
About seven yards into the cloth. I am very interested in how the shifting is happening. It seems that areas that were bundled together in the dye bath are remaining together, but shifting relative to their neighboring bundles. A few individual threads have shifted considerably within their bundles. I'm not sure if this is from warping tension, or from winding tension. I am looking forward to laying this whole cloth out, and examining the story it tells from start to finish...
A detail. Those individual tiny white blips are giving me ideas for an ikat-based artwork.
