New scarves at The Jam Factory
Mustard / Dusty Pink Vintage weave!I had a request to make a couple more of these for The Jam Factory, and I had forgotten how much I love this weave structure!For the weaving nerds out there, it’s a 4 shaft M & W draft. It’s strange how light the mustard looks against the oatmeal and dusty pink warp - it looks much darker against my usual black warp ;)Head over to the Jam Factory in the city if you want one … saying that, I think I’ll need to make more in this design again!
Fleurieu Arthouse restocked!
Have you visited Fleurieu Arthouse?I have just delivered some Liquorice Allsorts scarves (though I have been informed one has sold already), so if you are wine tasting in McLaren Vale, make sure you pop in and have a look!I will be restocking these scarves on the shop, but for the moment, Fleurieu Arthouse are the only ones who have some, so be quick!They are on the Main Road (opposite Oscars), and are open from Thursday - Monday, 11am - 4pm
Weave with me!
Well, hello there Bertha! It’s been a while since I’ve worked on this tapestry … winter is a busy time, with Bowerbird, restocking my suppliers, and generally being a great time of year for lovely scarves! :D But now I’m back to balancing my tapestry with my handweaving, and this long weekend has been all about swapping between them, as well as some candle making! In fact, the theme of June for me is BALANCE … how about you, are you good at balance?
Weaving more Liquorice Allsorts scarves!
And we’re away!You saw the loom setup, next is the actual weaving process …I’m making a warp full of Liquorice Allsorts scarves, so it’s a lot of fun changing colours every now and then, and making colour decisions as I go. It’s a very ‘free and easy’ way to weave, and I’m loving it :DEvery Liquorice Allsort is one-of-a-kind, so you will never have the same one as anyone else!These are going to Fleurieu Arthouse, but I have created a ‘Made to Order’ listing, as I have had a few queries about this one … and they sold out pretty...
What I do for fun!
I was asked last week what I did for fun …And this was my answer :DYeah, if I had my own way, I would be handweaving and tapestry weaving 24 hours a day!!How about you - what is your idea of FUN? Comment below!
