Undaily Namedrafts
I had the idea earlier to post a daily namedraft… but then I thought, “Hold it right there, Janet. You can barely remember to brush your teeth every day, let’s not be making any promises you can’t keep.” So instead I will post undaily namedrafts, whenever the mood strikes. :)
Namedrafting is a method used to design original … er, designs. Usually used for overshot but applicable to other things as well. I mostly use it for overshot, so that’s what I’ll mostly post here. :)
ETA: this isn’t a thread only for me! Comments and contributions are welcome!

“Pine cone” for @michael-harkness :)
Note that this is not THE pine cone / pine burr threading. It’s a namedraft of the words “pine cone”.

“Root canal” because of reasons. ???? ????

“Upgradation” thanks to the folks at Buddy Boss.

I like the idea of this. I have a few I may post when I get a chance!

This is a 4-shaft draft for one of the 12-shaft drafts I wove. “Another Thought”
-
Oooo, NOICE.
-
That looks like my thought process, expanding and contracting, and going off in another direction in the background!
-
I like a wee bit of asymmetry in my designs, then mirror it (to get the symmetry back).

This is what it looks like when woven.
-
OOoooOOooooo! That’s beeooooOOOoOOOoootiful!
-
Wow!! It looks like curved tubes when woven – unless you have the cloth arranged that way dimensionally. (Is dimensionally a word? Maybe we need to name draft it and see)
-
If I can figure out how, I can send you the draft (if I can find it hiding on my computer).
-
‘Dimensionally’ must be a word: look how pretty it is!

“Rosie” (the puppy)
It’s big, so you’ll need to biggify the pic to see it clearly.
-
Brain full, ergo today I give you “cat”
I particularly like that it has those unexpected “scratch” marks.

For @dayamitra-blenman : ‘Daylight Savings Time is Dumb’
-
Too right! It’s at the wrong time of year too. I’d like it better if it was in winter when we need it instead of summer when you pray for the end of the day and the cool in the evening. Somebody made a dumb decision.

Dumb and unhealthy (circadian rhythm). My dental hygenist asked how I like the time change and I said that I don’t do it. She laughed. I can add 1 when I need to. Not exactly higher math. Interesting youtube video on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84aWtseb2-4. That said, Your name draft is amazing. Wow!
I put the link there but I didn’t think the actual viedo would come up. Sorry if it’s too off topic.

Very interesting video, Charlene. Thanks for posting it.

In honour of the webinar in 90 minutes, I give you two versions of ‘Q&A’.
Can you spot the relationship between them?

These are all so wonderful and inspiring! Thank you for posting them and please don’t stop. Now I want my next project to be overshot :)
