Sponsored by TWIST - Tablet Weavers International Studies & Techniques I'm doing a project for a television show.
I will have to perform each significant step for the camera, as well as having "step-ups" completed so that I can pull out the next one and pretend that I've been busily working for three or four hours in the space of a camera blink. My question - I'm trying to work out how to pattern the borders. I know that I want a warp-twined border for strength and stability, but I also know that I want the warping to be as simple and quick as possible - they want to see me warp the loom. I'm trying to decide whether to do just a solid blue border, or maybe two stripes of gold with gold-blue checks between. Solid blue would of course be faster. I think the blue and gold would give it a more finished look. This is the design: http://www.wormspit.com/dreamribbon2.jpg the red lines are just lettering guidelines, and will have marked tablets to represent where they are, so I can see where the letters begin and end. There won't be red thread in the piece. The moth and the moon are brocaded in hand-reeled silk; the lettering is double-faced. The base of the ribbon is 2/30's spun silk. So - what do you think?
