Jacquard Weaving

I have had my first attempt at weaving designs using our Jacquard facility at university. I familiarised myself with software I have never used before (Jacquard Designer and Apos Digital Assistant) and used it to create a design from my paperwork. I felt that the first weave was such a success I proceeded to change the design and weave a second variation the next day.

Here are my results as they were created, the Jacquard in action:

Soldier's Story

Here are some photographs I took of the medals on display at Derby Museum in the Regimental section of the museum. The permanant exhibition area is entitled 'Soldier's Story'. I felt that this first hand resource was very benifitial in my project and I took time to observe uniforms, flags and various items of historical significance.
