More on WeavePoint and PhotoFiltre

Well here I am a year later and still fascinated by the Computer Design Study Group. The more I work with this the more I learn and think of new ways to use it. A few days ago, I decided to try designing series of items. I began by creating a transparent draft as described in my post previously. Unfortunately you cannot save the transparent draft in the proper format for uploading so it appears to right as a purple and black square. In PhotoFiltre saved as the correct format you will see a checkerboard design on the transparent threads. If you click on the photo you will see it in black and white.
Then I merged this with a colourful background and decided to try and create a tiled version as well. It is not as accurate as I was just playing and should have paid more attention when cutting the blocks to make sure it was in the proper proportion but I think you can get the idea.
The last step was to see what the tiled draft would look like in 3 different colorways. The first picture on the left shows the original draft as a scarf, the second is done using the nightshade filter, and the third one is done using the sunset filter. Click on the photos below to get a better look.

I think when I get my new 24 shaft AVL I will do something similar and create a set of scarves - the narrow width is good to get you going on a new loom. Oh it just cannot come fast enough.

I am now playing with various ways to use these tools to create a designer notebook as well as create series of designs. My jacket folder is so full of ideas! I am beginning to think this is moving me away from household items and back into clothing - here comes the 80's again - well at least it is not the 60's with all the great lumpy, bumpy yarns!
