Collapse Weaving

I am extremely happy with the way my samples have turned out, and I had a lot of fun making and experimenting with all new ideas, structures, and materials. For example I have finally utilize the effects of high twist yarns to create dimension in my textiles. When weaving, it looks rather plain and simple but the magic happens when you wet finish them in very hot water and watch them "shape themselves." I enjoyed reading about this technique and trying out for the first leaves me happy, but also leaves a lot of room for improvement, and more experimentation. Scale is an important feature and it always very satisfying weaving quite a large batch of samples.
