Again the very bright lime green wool I dyed and the lime plastic string seem to photo and scan as a greeny blue - maybe the computer can't do lime greens?
1. This is my first attempt at making my own grid - a little messy and if you look closely there are some elongated F's in there.
2. and 2a. On and off the frame - I'm quite pleased with this one.
3. There is a lot more green in this than shows up - I stitched with two different violet threads as upper threads and a green in the bobbin.
4. This was made on a round embroidery ring using fabric strips I dyed as the weft and bamboo yarn and dyed knitting ribbon as the warp.
5. Made on a take apart frame, so has a loopy fringe - it's a sampler where I tried out all sorts of needle weaving, wrapping and threading with a variety of wefts; fj can be seen in the upper right hand side.
6. Used cords and little folded squares of dyed muslin for this - sewed the grid and then skewed it by whipping a couple of the cords together.
8. This was done on Jute scrim - I buttonholed joining rings.
9. Upper - A grid of holes punched in some firm linen and threaded F's with dyed muslin - added a bit of depth with a fuzzy yarn sample.
Lower - I had some scraps of very thin wood which we use as kindling for the wood burner. They were stained and then I punched a grid and threaded with a glittery thread - letters at the ends and a trapped cord in the same thread in the middle
10. These were media inspired - motherboard in dyed felt on the right and a telephone exchange board on the left.
11. I cut a grid from dyed felt and wove dyed muslin through the middle row. The bits I cut out I sandwiched in dissolvable and made a grid with a few overlayed automatic patterns.
