This afternoon I suddenly realised that I forgot to write my blog yesterday....I am trying to discipline myself to write it every Sunday. A day late...sorry...but here goes. I have had a full on week in all sorts of ways, but creatively I am on a roll. I think this wonderful weather helps. I finished my first length of coat weaving. It is now washed and dried....I have yet to warp up the loom to start the next piece. The weather has been too good for me to go inside and warp...I have been outside spinning and dyeing. My wool stash is growing....more pics next time. Yesterday we went to our local 6th form college to see their art display....the textile work was superb. Also, a local artist, Mitzi Brown paints these amazing figurative paintings. I just love her colours....all very inspiring! This morning we cleared out our shed (have been going to do this since Christmas!!). I feel so liberated now...and have found some amazing fleeces which I didn't realise I had. So there should be plenty of raw materials to keep me going throughout the winter.....And of course, every day dog walking has been an absolute pleasure!
The Coat is looking gorgeous already, I love how the warp is as important as the weft. Beautiful student work too & a lovely garden.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful start to my day on the other side of the world! The coat is going to be amazing. Thanks also for posting shots of the work by Mitzi Brown and the colour of your last photo of dyed fleece takes me back to Blackpool and the Candy Floss stall!!
ReplyDeleteI'm leaping out of bed to face the day. That coat is inspirational. Dogs to be walked and colours to be appreciated. I'm busy all round too - it must be the solstice giving energy. Xx
