Download Fibonacci_and_the_Golden_Mean
I have been designing some new woven shibori scarves for the Fall and wanted to refresh my ideas about the "golden rectangle" or Fibonacci series of numbers that lead to pleasing and well-balanced design. The series begins with 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, and on and on as you add together the last 2 numbers in the series. So, of course, I went to Google and looked for some references and, indeed, found many, a lot of which were videos of varying lengths. I have saved one which is quite beautiful and will try to insert that reference for you to have a look at. It takes a few seconds to begin but seems to work. If your interest is piqued, then have your own "google" time. I watched several related videos. I have come up with a few new designs which have woven shibori in various widths of stripes mixed with some solid colour areas. I'll have to actually weave and dye a couple before I'm sure I'll be happy with the results, but that will have to wait until I'm finished the series of polyester shibori scarves I'm now working on, using painted warps. I have 3 different shows to prepare for this Fall, so I'm trying to build up a stock of different scarves. Pictures will come later as I'm just finishing the first couple of the polyester pieces.
