Further progress

These are the most recent 4 pieces of ongoing 8 feet length. This is really like doing a very long sampler and is a good way of practicing new techniques. The most recent piece (above) is in double weave which I haven't done before. The very plain piece will have sea glass added later and the fluffy piece will be trimmed.

Beautiful morning went for a walk on the beach in the sunshine. Raining by lunchtime so have been weaving this afternoon. More pictures to upload soon.

Progress - Three more sections, I feel I am making some progress at last

Elemental Rainbow

The very beginning

The next piece 

These are taken from a new piece for an exhibition by the South West Textile Group. More about the exhibition later.The idea is that members create a strip of textile 5" wide by 8' long from the colour circle.
We also have done a 5" x 5" square in our colour.
Ok I know this doesn't look very colourful but I am dying my piece after it comes off the loom.
I have decided to make the whole strip of 5" x 5" squares all connected.
As I am weaving this on a small knitters loom and rolling on I only get to see about 9" at a time, hence the photo of each piece otherwise I'd forget what I had already done.

My 5" square mounted

This is the approximate colour that the finished piece will be.  The colour is light azure, this looks

a bit brighter than it actually is.

Mapping The Future: Where Are You Now?

This is my piece for Mapping the Future: Where are you now?

This exhibition will be held at the Brewhouse, Taunton Thurs 23 Feb - Sat 24th March 2012

Open Monday to Saturday 10 - 5.30pm

Its promising to be an interesting and thought provoking exhibition with many different interpretations of the title.

This is not a tapestry piece and made for an interesting and fun change. I spent several days over the summer taking pictures of people sitting on the bench near my house.

This is a piece of my work. This piece uses driftwood that I find on the beach I then construct a wire warp directly on the wood and weave in it.
