I wanted to paint big patches of color the other day so I made a huge sheet (about 24x30”), cut it into strips, and wove into this finished piece. I’m really happy with how it came out but would cut the strips straight if I did another one.
And here was the big piece before cutting. I did it on a large sheet of butcher paper which is really nice to work on but is difficult to glue down to anything if you want to collage with it later.
I really liked the original big page too, but I felt like it was too “simple”. I thought about trying to find a frame to keep it full sized but I wanted to try a weaving it so I just went for it. I have lots of scraps from trimming it that I’m going to try doodling on to see if that gives it more of the “pop” I was looking for. I figure I can always make another one of the large pieces
