Handwoven tapestry from MMF AB -- "Karneval". Tapestry weave variant (gobelängvariant). Pattern designed in 1961. By Märta Måås-Fjetterström, Marianne Richter
I've always been fascinated by the idea of taking something that is essentially a straight line and transforming it into a flat plane so I was very excited to begin this section of the course. This is really why I started the course in the first place.
I found the exercise about analysing colour and proportion immensely helpful, although at times I became frustrated that I didn't possess exactly the right shade or texture of yarn to make the windings into the perfect representation of the pictures. I ended up doing four of these exercises and I can see that it makes a wonderful jumping off point for taking a drawing and translating into a textile.
