Overshot in a different way!

This is a close up of a quick warp I did between my paid work.
Its an overshot design which I've been interested in since working in Tanzania as you only need four shafts to creatate the pattern.
In this piece, which is a close up of a wall hanging, I've used different pink silks to pick out the overshot pattern in different places in the fabric.
I like it as overshot is quite an old fashioned way of working and just picking out parts of it makes it seem like an old fabric thats worn out, something you would find in a museum.
