Monday I was thinking of simple ideas and repetition, which to me is variation on a theme. Not sure if this really counts, but for me, these pieces were a variation on a theme of zigzags. First, I gave the illusion of zigzags by using rectangles. Then I practiced with “real” zigzags.
Then I stretched out the zigzags. I remember that while weaving the piece below, I had to change the design during the weaving process because I didn’t want stair-steppy angles. That meant lots of going back to the drawing board, but I was happy with the finished result. And then I thought I was done with zigzags, but they still creep back into my design thoughts, so maybe not.

Love those Zig Zags, and the name too! Number 2 is very interesting, it has a depth and ambiguity that intrigues me.
Some things just stick in your head! Maybe you'll do another Zig Zag series later on, after they ferment in there for a while.
Thanks, Jan. Frankly, I like titles like these also, just plain and clear.
