New scarves at The Jam Factory
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!

OK, the second Bunyip is nearly there … just weaving those eyes!It’s been so fun working on this one again, but I just remembered how challenging it is ...Luckily, I have a lot of lovely black background to weave too, which is so so fun :D
Weekday weaving reality ... !
OK, here is some weekday REALITY!So I usually record videos and take pics on the weekend, because it’s bright outside, and good lighting is KEY!

Queeriosities!
Next in line for ‘this idea is either dumb or genius’: I present to you: "Queeriosities" 🌈!OK, so I had this fabric that I had woven, and I wanted to have another go making a sculpture, after the lols of the giant scrunchie ;)So what the hell are they? They are representations of me! Queer, weird, neurodiverse, misfit, flamboyant, and pretty silly. But they are also you! Each piece stands tall like a totem pole, representing the strength and resilience of the LGBTQ+ community, allies, and all my fellow weirdos and misfits 🗿🌈Now I just have to figure out how...
