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.

graduation work in progress

I'm working on a curtain collection for my final project. The last 2 weeks blogspot doesn't want to post the things I was writing. So I show you now the things I did two weeks ago:

Creative sketchbook exchange

I'm part of a so called "creative sketchbook exchange". We are 80 artists from around the world and everybody has a sketchbook.
The plan is to create something on the first page of your sketchbook and send it to another artist. the second one makes something on the second page inspired by the first one. Then send it to the third person and so on.

I'm so exited to get the first book!

This is my sketchbook:

And what I put on the first page:
