I have started designing ideas of my ikat, as I am trying to figure out how I can piece together my work as a final piece. I initally thought that I wanted to do a variety of patterns and colours for wall hangings, but realistically, it isn't realistic, especially considering that after this easter break, I will only have 4 weeks to finish my final samples AND start on my final piece, it would be better to choose one pattern, and create different colour combinations with the ikat that I would be able to do on one warp, so that I won't have to keep changing warps, because I want everything to flow a little smoother, and be coherent, but still creating that sense of movement of the fish that I want to make with my work.
I will also need to start cartooning 3 really good ideas that I like and choose 1 that I could progress with, and do some visualisations. I had been looking at different contexts of where my work could go, and I could really picture my work being in the canteen of the Horniman Museum, which I thought was a good idea, considering that the Aquarium there was where my inspiration started. I would though, like to keep looking for ideas, just to make sure that this is what I definitely want to do.
