Woven Color Study

 





Dyed reed can be woven into colorful repetative patterns.   Often the the patterns are woven into the sides of baskets or bottoms of low sided trays.   I decided to weave a reed color study into a square pattern and insert the design into a frame for  display.















I started the weaving just as I would to make a basket bottom, without the extra reed needed to weave  sides. 







                          After I achieved the desired size I folded
                         the reed  back onto itself.






I covered the back of the weaving with a felt square before I placed
the weaving into a frame.
