colour mixing fun

I have just had the best fun experimenting with getting some ‘Kimberley rust/browns/reds’ and have found that by using just 3 colours I can get so many of these beautiful shades. This is just a small sample of the selection of the possibilities available when I mixed Phlalo Blue(red), Cadmium Red Deep Hue and Cadmium Orange Hue. This is so exciting!

play

I was asked at an artist talk which I presented recently how I came up with all my ideas. I think what is really important for me is play. There are many different aspects of play in my life. Laughing and having fun with my husband, boys and friends, and then there is playing through exploration of subject matter, location, equipment and settings. I’m always exploring a new way to look and think about things, and I continue to do this through the lens by experimentation. A lot of the time the images are duds, but every now and then a gem appears, and something in my belly knows I have touched on something which deserves further exploration.

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.

Have you ever been there?

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.

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!
