Warp Winding

taking a quick break from winding on a warp it takes ages especailly when its 17 m long!

pea plants

Pea plants, thats the inspiration for my new project which I have started for an exhibition in September.
I've loads of ideas, now its just about finding the time to get them woven very exciting!

pegs

pegging out the pattern for the weave heres a pretty picture!

June

I can't beileve its June already! I'm still weaving away no thanks to my rubbish legs which continue to ache. but the loom is running really well and all I need now is a bench to sit on which will hopefully help my legs.

try again hopefully this picture will work!

open studios

on Wednesday I'm putting some of my work up at the Coventry Artspace for there open studio event. As alot of people always ask me how the loom is set up, I thought I'd put together some pictures of each stage. I also like to try and make them look arty as well!

Good Quote

I read this in Crafts magazine and thought it was a good description of weaving!
'weaving is a complicated business of preparation and technique -like playing a very skilled game of noughts and crosses, only your back hurts and you might eventually need glasses'
