It is a large project and I needed to make some decisions: Color, pattern, how much variety?
I wrote this pattern, Sheaves, and have posted the start of this project before. But it has taken on a life of its own!
I decided on the pattern since it uses varied numbers of each color and looks interesting when the values and colors are switched. I can emphasize any aspect of the design.
I am choosing neutrals and colors that are complimentary on the color wheel to make them pop. Basically an accent from across the color wheel, examples are blue/orange, violet/yellow, red/green. Using a variety of these like turquoise, or spice changes the mood.
The neutrals are fun, since I can mix and match them, or alternate, like White and Winter white, Flax and Ochre...more fun!
So, every evening, I have set a goal of weaving 5 or more a day if I feel fresh. Those that used similar base neutrals are stacked together to show me she I could use more darker, color or warmer versions.
The discipline of staying with the formula and pattern has forced me to look at new color combinations that I may not have otherwise "seen."
I highly recommend making a set of similar weaves with a color formula like this. See how far you can stretch it!
