After weaving yesterday with the acrylic warp and polyester warp and the technical yarns for the weft, I have spent today sublimating on top of them with collaged scans of drawings, screen printed papers and woven materials. I found that the acrylic warp created a paler colour result, which looked interesting with a polyester or rubco yarn in the weft as it looked like small stitches and distorted the printed composition. I have documented my tests and findings in my technical file which has helped me remember the timings and techniques used with the heat press. I also found that the leftover sublimation paper had insetting patterns and textures on it (which translates well to my drawings). The weave acted a resist when removing the colour- I could purposely do this and use objects as a resist to create a more textured sublimated paper and then continue to scan this and enhance it. I plan to either use this interesting paper as a secondary print or even scan this in and digitally enhance it then print it again using sublimation to then apply again to fabric.

When heat pressing the weave with cables in the weft, it did move a lot and curl which made the weave turn into a melted curve shape which I didn't think was particularly strong. I could use the cables further by inserting them into paper weaves or other weaves to create an unconventional weave structure.
