Above is Linda Green's graphic piece in black and white. It is the variation in the density of circles I particularly like, that and the scribbly nature of those circles. I think they may well have been made from wire suspended from pins, but I haven't been able to discover whether it is the case.
Sian suggested I use the linen thread in 4:6:6 and loop it over and through a grid in both directions. It does, in fact, look very much more interesting than this image shows. I realise my experiment is just that and it certainly brings home to me how very clearly thought through a design needs to be for it to be successful. The techniques, materials and colour must all serve the purpose of the design.
