Brocade sampler, fourth post

Not too much progress today -- I was busy with other things.

Both of these are from Roslein und Wecklein.  I think they're both 9-tablet wide patterns.  The photo is at a funky angle which is why it looks like the width of the band is changing.  The first one (on the left) shows 2 pattern repeats.  The one on the right shows 4 pattern repeats.  I like how the little lozenge-ish motifs are separated by little diamonds.

I'm getting faster and my tension is getting more consistent.  I'm still pretty close to novice level, of course!  I'll continue to do random brocade-related things until the warp runs out.  I might at some point try a different brocade thread and/or do two or more colors at a time.  Or I might not.

I'm not sure which motifs will be next.  There are so many interesting little patterns!  And so many things I can easily create myself!  I'm choosing based on whimsy, mostly.  What looks cute and fun?  I'm trying to sample different sources.  I'm also trying to do different kinds of motifs since they might require slightly different tensioning etc. techniques for the brocading, and might result in a slightly different appearance.
