Simpson Desert after Rain

The Simpson desert after rain – amazing!! We have just returned from the GREEN CENTRE. It was a privilege and such a humbling experience to journey through this beautiful landscape after so much nourishing rain. Wherever we camp we are conscious of our impact and remove all our waste with us. We carry and not burn our rubbish; we have our own toilet so our waste is not left; and I am a strong advocate to women to take with them in a zip lock bag their used toilet paper from roadside wees, instead of leaving it disrespectfully to litter the environment. COME TRAVEL WITH ME BY LOOKING THROUGH MY GALLERIES! – by clicking on the numbered links below. Rather than the ‘Best Of’ tour that we have become accustomed in our fast paced ‘grab quick’ lives, I have offered extensive galleries for those who wish to really get an idea of the 10,000 km which we travelled. This is the closest many will get to travelling in this beautiful landscape, which is why I have included so many photos and an extensive gallery. I think of these galleries as like a good book – you can either dive into […]

rain in south-east queensland

Much of Queensland is inundated with water at the moment. On the farm here we have received over 25 inches of rain already in December, had only 5 days without rain recorded , and only 3 days which were sunny for more than 4 hours. Here is our road which was damaged after heavy rain the other night. The council had just finished fixing and replacing the drain under the road, all their repairs were washed away!

We arrived home safely and time now for my healing.

My current series is founded on our wonderful time in Kolkata. 

I loved Kolkata. The sounds. The colour. The warmth from others. 

Here in my studio, nothing is rushed. Each piece is woven carefully with intention. 

Each piece is unique. The rhythm of my hands and steps; the behaviour of the yarn; the decisions made in the moment rather than imposed in advance. As an artist, little is planned in my weaving.

Memories of my experiences of journeys across the world come to life again in my studio. My current series is founded on our wonderful time in Kolkata. I loved Kolkata. The sounds. The colour. The warmth from others. Here in my studio, nothing is rushed. Each piece is woven carefully with intention. Each piece is unique. The rhythm of my hands and steps; the behaviour of the yarn; the decisions made in the moment rather than imposed in advance. As an artist, little is planned in my weaving. Come and read my journal notes from Kolkata and have a peek side my studio. My E-Zine is now available. Link in Bio. #uniquegift #slowmade #kolkatastreets #artisanmade #interiordecor

Reveal time! The city of inspiration for my current series is Kolkata; starting with my memories of Mullik Ghat Flower Markets. Kolkata was the beginning of our drive in our 1923 Vauxhall through India, Bhutan and Myanmar. I had the most wonderful time in Kolkata. Have you ever been there? Come spend some time vicariously experiencing Kolkata through my Studio E-Zine; where I share my Journal notes from Kolkata and a sneak peek into my Studio and how my inspiration from the Mullik Ghat flower markets have inspired my current series of handwoven blankets. I’ve just started this new account, so if you’ve been interested in my posts, love you could share them to spread the luv! ♥️ My E-Zine; Kolkata Journal; and a peek into my Studio - is available - Link in Bio.

“ᴡʜᴇʀᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴘɪʀɪᴛ ᴅᴏᴇꜱ ɴᴏᴛ ᴡᴏʀᴋ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴛʜᴇ ʜᴀɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ɪꜱ ɴᴏ ᴀʀᴛ.”

My weaving is deeply rooted in my experience. My remote journeys and experiences continue to move through me as I weave. 

Although weaving involves repetitive tasks, my movements are intentional and connected to my spirit, memory and experiences. Weaving for me is far more than a physical task. It is art; my voice through my hands. 

Thank you for joining in with me to guess where my memories are from for my current Series. Here are some more clues in the photographs. 

DM your guess where you think this place is. Looking forward to reading where you think!

@qingfibre Lemon is the most wonderful yellow, forming the story lines in my warp.
