More graduation

I want to show you a few of the pictures Gloria shot for my collection book. I like them so much!
We went to an old factory in belgium to shoot the pictures because I wanted destroyed windows for my pictures. And Gloria knews many of these locations. It was perfect and I'm so happy with how the pictures turned out.

I'm happy with the close-ups, I showed you yesterday, too. But Gloria's pictures are allways special. I like her photographs since I knew her.

It's finally over

Sorry for the long absence. I wasn't in the mood for blogging after I didn't pass my graduation exam.
That sounds worse than it actually is. I'm only graduating two month later now. That is the only consequence.
But I needed my time to realize that it is not that bad.

So now I proudly present my graduation collection (a part of it. more the following days), glow in the dark and transparent curtains:

 All pictures by Jacci Henaux or by myself

My bags are packed

We are on our way to Gaudium to weave our final fabrics!!! It is really early in the morning, but I'm sooooo excited! I will post pictured this evening when we are back in Germany.

Only four weeks to go!

Only four weeks until my graduation, and five until my graduation show. I have four fabrics finished and one on the loom. That means another 6 to go...
But look at the finished fabrics while I'm desperate about time.

A big success

On friday Sarah and I went to Winterswijk, NL to met the designer of Gaudium, a dutch weaving company.
We work together with them for our graduation project. They weave some fabrics, we designed in a big size on an jacquard loom.
And the best thing ever happened to me. They asked me for one pattern I designed. They want to use it for their own collection. Isn't that great???
At the same time I'm weaving my first fabric for the end presentation! Everything I did until now was trying out, but now I'm choosing patterns to make them in big.
The image below is a small part of this first fabric:

Graduation in progress 2

I think I don't have enough time....Ahhhhh! only a few weeks left until my graduation! And we have holidays at the moment, that means I can't weave at school at "my" selectron (an electric loom with a computer).
This is what I did last week:

I received my first sketchbook

Last week I received my first sketchbook! It was from Louise Mills from Glasgow.
I was so happy when I opend the book, because she had drawn a weaving draft, what means she is a weaver, too.
And I really liked her colors. I'm in a "neon mood" at the moment. So it was not so difficult for me to find the yarns. Ok, it was a little bit difficult, because I wanted the exact same colors, that she used. I found it but after I washed the fabric the color changed a little bit.

The first picture is her page (my inspiration) and the other pictures are what I did.
