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.

𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭 | 𝐇𝐞𝐢𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐦 𝐓𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬 Luxury Handwoven Blankets 🌏Stories from life & global adventures 🧩Woven into unique collector pieces Explore ⬇️
  • Ever had a tough week and you just know yarn that a 6-pack of yarn will be the perfect spirit lifter? Follow along to see what I make with this gorgeous @myak_fibers 

I just adore it!
  • Do you want to NOT go out and just stay home and do the things you want to do; like spinning, weaving, knitting, crafting; but feel like you should be getting dressed out of your pj’s, and going out to at least have a coffee??? 

You could role play like I did. Follow to see my next ‘outing’. 

One can never be overdressed wherever you are! Pop on your bling and do your thing! 

So it’s all sorted then?!!
  • Four things I learned from one month not buying yarn. If you’re a weaver, knitter or crocheter, I’ve done all the hard work for you! 

Save this for your own reference, and follow to see if I chat to the postman about yarn again! 

What I learned- 
1. I miss chatting to our postman about yarn.

2. I just don’t have the right pink. 

3. No one; yes no one at all gave me a gold crown. Not even a gold star! 

4. I was so sad I took up a hobby. Sewing. I bought heaps of fabric! 

Because I’ve realised I don’t even like sewing, it was all pointless. 

I’m back to weaving now. Wonder if I’ll be chatting to the postman again soon??
  • Want to enjoy your weaving more? I share tips and ideas freely. I may even make you laugh along the way. Get comfy, follow along and stay a while.

I’m a weaver. Artist. Traveller. Photographer. Bad*ss sassy weaver actually! Simple tools. Ashford rigid heddle. Gorgeous handwoven blankets, and 3 ground rules for my content! Basically, I’m just being totally REAL! Welcome along!
  • Tired of AI slop? Come follow along here if you want REAL!! They say wearing bikinis gets more followers, and AI can’t do that! I can though! 

I’m totally real; and at times slightly unhinged. Committed, sometimes ridiculous. If you want weaving tips and to get some weaving mojo, here is your space! I may even make you laugh.
  • Thinking of weaving? A rigid heddle loom is a great start. I use a really big one with a very big shuttle. It’s a 48”  @ashford_wheels_looms Rigid heddle loom. 

I like to walk rather than sit to weave so this is the perfect size for me, so I can weave my blankets. 

Come follow along to see what I weave using this very big shuttle. I may even make you laugh along the way.

So, because I’m not sure I even like sewing now, it was all pointless. 

Back to weaving now. So looking forward to chatting to the postman again! 🤣

Come follow along to see what I weave with my next parcel!
  • Stuck for ideas for your weaving? Use what you’ve done! I’ve woven my memories from one of our roadtrips 100 year old vintage car style, where our goal was to drive from Bangkok to London. Made it through Thailand, Laos, Tibet, Kyrgyzstan and broke down there.. lol.. but that’s another story! 

Follow for more weaving ideas and stories. I may even make you laugh!
  • Bold, sassy older weaver! I share freely all my weaving tips and ideas. Look around my space. Come follow along in my sometimes unhinged studio. Deeply committed to my art and weaving practice; but I may make you laugh.

1. I miss chatting to our postman about yarn.

2. I just don’t have the right pink. 

3. No one; yes no one at all gave me a gold crown. Not even a gold star! 

4. I was so sad I took up a hobby. Sewing. I bought heaps of fabric! 

Because I’ve realised I don’t even like sewing, it was all pointless. 

I’m back to weaving now. Wonder if I’ll be chatting to the postman again soon??

Tired of AI slop? Come follow along here if you want REAL!! They say wearing bikinis gets more followers, and AI can’t do that! I can though! 

I’m totally real; and at times slightly unhinged. Committed, sometimes ridiculous. If you want weaving tips and to get some weaving mojo, here is your space! I may even make you laugh.

Thinking of weaving? A rigid heddle loom is a great start. I use a really big one with a very big shuttle. It’s a 48” @ashford_wheels_looms Rigid heddle loom. I like to walk rather than sit to weave so this is the perfect size for me, so I can weave my blankets. Come follow along to see what I weave using this very big shuttle. I may even make you laugh along the way.

Four things I learned from one month not buying yarn for my weaving. Save this for your own reference! 

1. Miss chatting to our postman about yarn.
2. Just don’t have the right yellow. 
3. Nobody, yes nobody gave me a gold crown. Not even a gold star! 
4. I was so sad I took up a hobby. Sewing. I’ve bought heaps of fabric! 

So, because I’m not sure I even like sewing now, it was all pointless. 

Back to weaving now. So looking forward to chatting to the postman again! 🤣

Come follow along to see what I weave with my next parcel!

Stuck for ideas for your weaving? Use what you’ve done! I’ve woven my memories from one of our roadtrips 100 year old vintage car style, where our goal was to drive from Bangkok to London. Made it through Thailand, Laos, Tibet, Kyrgyzstan and broke down there.. lol.. but that’s another story! 

Follow for more weaving ideas and stories. I may even make you laugh!

Bold, sassy older weaver! I share freely all my weaving tips and ideas. Look around my space. Come follow along in my sometimes unhinged studio. Deeply committed to my art and weaving practice; but I may make you laugh.
