LITTLE NOTIONS

Little Notions Dobby woven monofilament and embroidery floss

Notions: an impulse or desire, especially one of a whimsical kind. My first exploration using monofilament. The weave creates all the connections in the mind while the colors represent many different little thoughts. I chose to make each section its own color story. Many of these small color stories are linked to memories of mine and were created as I was working to allow the piece to have a true sense of randomness to. To continue this randomness I continually jumped around the pattern I created and changed the number of picks and used all scrap yarn from past projects. The process continued off the loom as well cutting apart the floats to further the disconnections between jumping thoughts.
