Well, hello there Bertha! It’s been a while since I’ve worked on this tapestry … winter is a busy time, with Bowerbird, restocking my suppliers, and generally being a great time of year for lovely scarves! :D But now I’m back to balancing my tapestry with my handweaving, and this long weekend has been all about swapping between them, as well as some candle making! In fact, the theme of June for me is BALANCE … how about you, are you good at balance?

And we’re away!You saw the loom setup, next is the actual weaving process …I’m making a warp full of Liquorice Allsorts scarves, so it’s a lot of fun changing colours every now and then, and making colour decisions as I go. It’s a very ‘free and easy’ way to weave, and I’m loving it :DEvery Liquorice Allsort is one-of-a-kind, so you will never have the same one as anyone else!These are going to Fleurieu Arthouse, but I have created a ‘Made to Order’ listing, as I have had a few queries about this one … and they sold out pretty...

Here they are - I brought them into the gallery on the weekend, and the general consensus was to lean them against the wall!Also, everyone who entered my studio laughed at them … so I consider that a WIN!We have a group exhibition called ‘The Haunting: 5 Years of Collective Haunt’ - I’d love to see you there, the exhibition is on until 15 July :)Bringing together studio artists from Collective Haunt, as well as some of our friends, it is a great exhibition, intended as a one-stop-shop for all your art shopping needs :DYou’ll find my Queeriosities for sale there,...

Wear what makes you feel good!And when your favourite artist releases a jumper with Wah Wah Australia, well ... I just had to get it!

‘Dressing the loom’ before I can even start weaving!What does that mean? Well, it’s just putting the warp onto the loom.And when I say ‘putting’, I mean:- sleying the reed- threading the heddles- winding the warp onto the back beam- tying the front of the warp onto the front beam- tying up the treadlesAnd then away we go!
