Wooden necklaces

New wooden necklaces, made by me. I have sawn and sanded these pieces by hand to create these neclaces. The cute heads have been rescued from broken vintage Japanese Kokeshi.

These necklaces are one of a kind.

New work, of a tapestry kind

So, I have started these new tapestries, and they are a bit the same, and a lot different to work I have done in the past. I guess that's what happens when you leave something alone for long enough. I hope you like...any feedback welcome.

I started this with the idea of "just getting back into it" no real purpose but fun really....

Yes, that is silver thread in there.

And, then finished,
6.5 x 12.5 cms

and a close up

and the back, which I always love, it's crazy back there...

And then it all got me thinking about a whole lot of other stuff, which I don't really want to get to into here...and after some drawings, and paintings , and taking a deep breath, I got to here....

19 x 13.5 cm

which in turn, has lead me here...still going

I know it's weird, that's just where I'm at right now.

Weaving and playing

I took on the monumental task of warping a 4 shaft loom, I have never done this, and was very nervous about the whole process...studied very hard to make sure it worked.  Here is the end result.

I'm pretty happy with this result, although, all my studying, ended up for nothing, I did it all wrong..in the process, but got there in the end.

This warp is for 'gigi' to make a scarf...she's such a good weaver.

Here is what happens when you leave a piece of brown paper on the table.

You end up with a stable of horses!
