A few more motifs done (you can't see all of them in this pic, but they're there). I'm really enjoying the Sulawesi tablet-weaving technique. The motif on the right is one from Saga Wool Craft's website. The one on the left is a slightly modified version of one of the Saga Wool Craft patterns. Both motifs -- well, actually, all of the website's motif charts I'm using -- are from the 16-tablet gallery at https://sagawoolcraft.com/?page_id=2680. I probably spend more time dithering and doodling than I do weaving.
It's very easy to modify or create patterns in this technique. I have no idea if I'm following Sulawesi design sensibilities or not, but that's OK. I'm getting the hang of doing this by only using line drawings of my motif and not needing to color in the boxes that are going forwards or backwards. Since it's double-face, the rules are simple.
Sulawesi 3-color double-face (or whatever you want to call it) feels like a cross between double-face and the diagonals technique where pairs of cards turn together for two turns before potentially changing turn direction.
I'm gonna keep doing small motifs like this until the end of the warp. Leaves, spirals, geometric patterns, animal-like patterns -- again, a mix of my own patterns, other people's patterns, and modified versions of other people's patterns.
I'm having a lot of fun.
