Perfectionism, part 2 …In my last video, I was talking about perfectionism, and how tapestry weaving is a perfectionist’s nightmare.Well, in contrast, handweaving demands perfectionism!If the loom is warped up incorrectly, even if you miss one single thread … the whole pattern will be thrown out, and fixing it takes nearly as long as warping up the whole loom all over again :OWhen actually weaving, one pass in the wrong shaft combination will also result in the pattern being incorrect, so it needs to be unpulled and corrected.Handweaving is very mathematical, logical, and process-driven.Which is why I love it!Maybe that’s...

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!

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

Lily’s 16th birthday scarf!I asked Lily to choose a colour … and I was shocked that she chose hot pink! I mean, it IS fabulous (and one of my favourite colours), but it’s not normally a colour she gravitates towards.And doesn’t she look FABULOUS?You can find your own fabulousness on my website :)

Isn't this such a delicious colour?This has always been one of my most popular colours - olive green is, in my opinion, a neutral, and goes with everything!What do you think?  Is is one of your favourites?
