...that ikat yardage...

In the previous blog post, there's a photo of small woven pieces in progress. They were cut down from a couple panels from the Ikat Warp project that's been brewing over time. I should have posted this image above for context....It shows the almost-full length of the woven yardage. Only one panel was cut from the length (that's the second one hanging on the right side of image).

Anyway, the smaller pieces in the previous post were cut from the two sections that are in the middle of the warp here-just as the length turns left / goes horizontal in the photo...

and below here is an image of the two panels I think came out the most successful overall, the contrast of the ikat stands out most in them and the 'island' shape is almost a mirror image on them...

I'm not sure how these will finish up...for now it interests me that they pick up colors that are also in the mixed media textile painting that's been in progress (shown on the wall behind it). Hopefully when they are all finished, they will relate to each other...not just in color, but because of the 'island' shape/theme that I've been working with for a bit.... 

So just wanted to post this - will be trying to be more frequent here. We'll see how that goes!

Till then, here's a shot of the park up the hill from the other weekend - the snow is melting more this weekend I hope. The sun is out strongly this morning, so it's a safe bet :)
