more of everything

January is always an in-between month for me

like a long hangover from all the holiday celebrations/expectations

and then new year’s resolutions – which I’ve never made!

I’m goal orientated, it’s what keeps me going

I make and remake them throughout the year

and the weather is difficult – here it is generally wet, windy and grey

not very inspiring

another tea towel finished – orange to brighten up the mornings

February tapestry is finished – I know I’m ahead of the game

and the warp is ready for the next!

 I’m becoming just a little bit obsessed

the bottom is my first attempt at wedge weave – I love it

typical of the technique are edges that flare out

Navajo weavers used this technique in their rugs

changing to straight tapestry, I’m working on weaving shapes from a cartoon

like the star – I find this the most difficult part of tapestry weaving

more colours are needed in tapestry weight

spinning Merino/silk blend to dye in natural colours

looking forward to February
