WOVEN DREAM CATCHERS -PART I
BEGINNING 2-D ART
hoops, handspun/hand dyed yarns, other types of yarns, embellishments
These Dream Catchers have been a big hit since we started doing them a couple of years ago.
Woven within each are the students handspun/hand dyed wool yarns.
There were so many I wanted to show off that I will be posting them in two parts.
Funny and wonderful how the Fiber Arts are back in vogue.
We begin with this beautifully crafted piece by 8th grader Heer Patel.
Great color choices and love the pearls she has sewn on to give it a bit of twinkle.
Love the rich and vibrant use of color by 8th grader Annie Nguyen
and how she up centered her design.
And this is a very cool solution by Bhumika Kalaimalai.
Missing you big time Bhu.
She transferred to another High School and was one of my 8th grade superstars.
Check out all the fabulous handspun yarns 8th grader Alaa Malabeh has incorporated here.
The handspuns are the ones that look super soft and go from thick to thin.
They are so yummy.
And what a great design idea junior Angelica Luza has come up with.
And love those sweet little shells she has attached to her ends.
This asymmetry off centered work is really fun as well by Sandra Chea.
And check out this unique design idea by senior Vivian Shi.
I hope you enjoyed these.
Stay tuned for more coming up in Part II.
Heer has worked so carefully, filling the ring with ripples of color that evoke a pond and a supernova both
ReplyDeleteAnnie's piece holds tension above and releases it with ease below
Bhumika's exposed warp threads inform her piece with process
And oh my goodness, I had to zoom in to truly appreciate the tight weave in the center of Alaa's dream
Angelica's weaving iterates the rings of growth in the shells that hang below it
The ease Sandra's circle within a circle belies the challenge of its construction
And Vivian's beaded web is all the more intriguing surrounded as it is by the dark, densely woven wings that enfold it
Wow, it's amazing all you observe and how you put it into words. Thank you Liz!
