Making connections
Relating samples to sketchbook

 The initial fairground research has led me to a range of different possibilities, the subject has allowed me to look at fashion designers, colour trends and textile and fine artists.

In one of my weave samples I have attempted to create an edge of fringing with red mohair, which relates to the above image which is a page in my sketchbook.

Towards the end of my sketchbook I worked on compositions and proportions to aid me when weaving, whilst simultaneously  incorporating my colour palette.

I adjusted the compositions slightly when weaving as I wanted more of a pattern instead of blocks of colour, and also a lower proportion of gold as I used leaf instead of gold yarn.
