The Butterfly Effect
Unfolding the intricacy of butterfly wings through weaving
A collection of handwoven swatches inspired by the minute details of butterfly wings. I studied the patterns on the wings and developed samples by creating my own denting patterns for weaving.
​
Yarns of various thickness were plied together to create gradation of colours and textures. The colours selected were vibrant with a off white base to enhance the patterns.
A hypothetical client, 'The Calma House' - Spain was chosen for this project. The materials and techniques were chosen after studying the brand.
