It took me a while to realise that the middle image of the triptych was a ‘digital’ weave. It reveals the contrast in colours in the quarry image, which otherwise isn’t so apparent.
What a beautiful journey. The light and skies always deliver up there. Sea looked calm and lush.
Thanks for saying about the weave. It is actually cut by hand and woven. You can see the process elsewhere in my feed. I had a close up shot but didn’t include it. But it does look digital and pixelated, at that scale in particular.
I thought you had digitally cut up the images and combined them. Even on a phone I could see that the warp and weft all had details in them. The triptych works well.
I was lucky to be away in a good spell of weather. And now we’re having an even longer, hotter spell of sunshine.
Love seeing prints of the originals framing the weave! Very cool presentation
Thank you AJ. It was new for me to see them presented like this. But in one sense it’s exactly how I start the process, pics side by side.

I was in the Seaboard Villages a month ago and photographed the Mermaid of the North at sunrise (and had a swim): https://open.substack.com/pub/felicitymartin/p/exploring-the-harsh-heritage-of-scotlands?r=dsete&utm_medium=ios

Here is a look at the process, I removed the paywall. Enjoy! https://open.substack.com/pub/kierandodds/p/the-ground-beneath-my-feet?r=3mzpyy&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true
Thank you. Very interesting. I love that you have researched different weaves and try out various patterns in physical trials.
I live in Strathearn, so am not very far from Dumyat.
Lucky you! I went to school in Strathearn and looked out at the hills and forest from the art room there. Such a beautiful part of the world.
