Wrapped in the Sahara, my latest handwoven blanket – Skeinydipping

The Sahara Desert. As a young girl I dreamt of walking across the soft warm sand of the Sahara Desert, and in one of our journeys in our vintage car I had the opportunity to realise my childhood dream. The sand was firmer than I had imagined as a child; the nights were colder; the days were far hotter; but the golden spaciousness was like something I could have never imagined. I adored and breathed in the gold of the evenings, and let my eye drift with the shifting light. I am grateful to have these memories to guide me through this uncertain time, and be the foundation for the expression of my stories. I have completed this “Wrapped in the Sahara’ blanket and it is now available to purchase in my Shop. If you would like a treasure for yourself or special friend, that will hold and be part of life’s stories; pop to my Shop at this link here.

New Skeinydipping website for my Hand-woven Blankets and wraps.

I'm very excited to have online my new Skeinydipping website. I've been weaving blankets and wraps inspired by my journeys around the world; and for the past few weeks whilst we've been doing some landscaping and harvesting such abundance in my garden; I've had the idea that they should have their own space to be shown... and in three days... PRESTO... a new website up and running showing my beautiful artisan handwoven blankets and wraps. Pop to my link above and have a look.

Bhutan road-trip inspired hand-woven blanket

Memories of an incredible journey in a vintage car #roadtrip Bhutan. So many stories. Wonderful friendships. I hope my gratitude for this wonderful experience, and the love and care that my heart and hands imparted through the rhythm of my weaving; is felt as this blanket warms. You can view more of my artisan handwoven blankets here by clicking my Skeinydipping Website.

  • If this doesn’t look like you running to your studio to weave, perhaps you need some creative inspiration? 

Come follow along and see if you can find yourself some tips and creative mojo to get you running to your loom like I do!
  • Your weaving isn’t valued because it looks like it was made by a machine.
It is valued because it didn’t! 
Come along for tips, ideas and inspiration; as we create what is valued - together.
  • Just realised that perfection in your weaving isn’t the goal? Perfection isn’t what it’s cracked up to be. Machines can do that. Soul-less. What you create with your own hands is unique and unreplicable. 
Come join me as we weave our own life stories through our own hands.
  • You want it to be perfect? Use a machine. You want it to be loved. Use your own hands.

Have a look at how I create with my hands; and follow along for more creative tips and inspiration. 
  • Want perfection? Use a machine. Your hands are the whole point. Your hands leave traces that your pieces are made by a human. Your own lived experience. Soul-filled! 

Want your own handmade - creative inspiration, tips and ideas? 
Come follow along!
  • Your hands are the whole point! Machine-made is human-less; soul-less. Handmade carries traces of ourselves, which in turn enrich the lives of others. 

Do you try to create work that is ‘perfect’; like a machine? 

I weave stories from my global adventures into my handwoven blankets; and yes - an exceptionally high level of artisan expertise; but you can see and feel that they are woven by my own hands. 

Want creative inspiration? Share with your creative bestie and come follow along.
  • Wished someone had told me this when I started weaving. 
What NOT to do with your gorgeous Indie dyed singles from the festival; or for that project that didn’t quite get made! Excited about using them in your weaving? 

STOP - before you start warping!! 

You can use any yarns you like for your warp; BUT, with awareness. Discernment is necessary.

Shredding it - is a thing! 
Save this in your weaving ‘note to self’ folder, and share with your creative bestie, so you avoid broken warp yarns!
  • Your hands ARE the point.  The variations in what you create with your own hands are the traces and evidence that it was created by a unique human.
  • Machines “...copy the way, but can’t copy the soul”. FLORÉN FLO Beats
Your fingertips create traces that your pieces are made by a human. Everything that you create with your hands; Weaving; Art; Cooking; Music; Touch. Every gesture and movement uniquely yours. Extraordinarily human. Unreplicable
