This little weaver needs a holiday!

I have been a stary eyed midnight weaver recently, finishing some very personal commissions and developing a collection of new colour-ways and designs. But now, this little weaver is heading off to Italy for a week of reflection in the sun, with a suitcase full of inspirations. All weavers need a break from time to time, look at these ladies for example!! I bet they didn't get the chance for a restorative break! The weaving world has changed. Goodbye loom. xxx

Big tings gwan in holly world!

It's all been getting a big weavy in the studio, finishing some special commissions and making some exciting new samples, ready for a new very romantic commission to get straight onto the loom. I'm seeing double cloth and floating Morse blocks in my sleep!

Baaaaaaaaaaa!

I think it is the best day of my year so far!

After a super excitingly inspirational meeting about an exhibition I'm doing called Portraits in the Making with other Hothouse Crafts Council graduates this morning..... I came running home to find my studio taken over by my new 100% British sheep yarns! The place is practically bleating with Black Welsh mountain sheep and Gray Jacobs! Now I have to focus on getting a couple of commissions woven so that I can then concentrate on having some design and sampling time to see what I can create from these surprisingly soft and silky fibres. I'm thinking blocks and pannels inspired by old fences and cattle grids, for home wears and interior. I'll be posting progress.... baaaaa!
