For my weaving project, I picked the song “Live. Love & Laughter” by: Donavon
Frankenreiter. I picked this song because it is a happy song and upbeat.
For my project, I represented the upbeat rhythm by using the white shoe lace with the
tight weave texture. The dynamics are pretty loud so, I picked the green yarn and added the
beads throughout my piece. The pitch is in the middle so; I picked a neutral color in using the
beige yarn. There is a strong drum beat that you can hear for the whole song, I picked the yarn
with the visible texture that would stand out and added the beads throughout my weaving.
There is also a guitar that you hear layered with the drum so, I used the blue for that. I repeated
the blue in my weaving to make 2 layers.
I picked this design to match the music and the feelings I get. The song is relaxed (soft
tones of color), its happy and I think the beads are happy, and the strong textures represent the
instrumentation. The color pattern is ABCDAB.
