Knots.

I forgot to post pictures of the willow weaving workshop which was fantastic. The most usual thing he showed us was the different kind of knots there was ans how we could think about incorporating them into our hammock to give it strength.

Life size paper maquette.

I created a life size paper maquette of the hammock. I roughly sketched out the design and then hung the hammock to see the illusion of what the hammock will look like. I think it looks great I can't wait to see it made now. Exciting stuff!

Alien.

So this is the colour palette I have decided to go with. I love the contrasts between the purples and yellow. Kind of reminds me of an alien.
