I have also been considering the types of yarn i'm using (combining texture with flatter/ smoother yarns) and how these will interact with the warp threads. Yarn wraps are a good way to explore colour proportion and arrangement.

Following one of the Friday drawing sessions on composition and collage I focused my attention on developing my drawings. The session involved reducing the subject to simple shapes and positive/ negative space which I found helpful when interpreting my own drawings and photos into weave structures.
The above images show my thought process when designing a weave pattern. I have been focusing on the shapes and patterns in my visual sources, working in a more abstract manner.

This is the most clear of the links between drawing, ideas and making a woven response - It's exciting and most promising (more it's inspirational). This has to be 'meteoric' progress in little over a month! It is also creditable that you are communicating so successfully, your thinking in written language at the same time as establishing your own, very important, visual vocabulary.
