Rep Weavings - "Pansy Forth" designed and woven by Rosalie Neilson

REP WEAVINGS - Pansy Forth

16 variations of Pansies, Fiberworks-PCW, designer Rosalie Neilson

Profile Draft for sixteen variations of "Pansy Forth" was created by interleaving two curves from a graphic wallpaper pattern, a mountain curve and a water ripple curve. The designs, initially called Mountain Flowers, reminded me of pansies. Since I chose four designs to weave, I renamed the series "Pansy Forth" as a play on words.
