She Glides…

With delicate grace
exposing in rawness her strength and beauty
exquisite beneath,
she glides in the stillness
yet she was not truly seen.

Those moments of glimpses are now passed
into memories
and melt
into time.

‘Please Stand Clear of the Closing Doors’ – the story of a couragous young man.

I was asked what happened, how he lost his leg, and how we managed....and the best way I could think to answer them was to email them a copy of my story...which I made into an artist book...and was my way to process the three months in hospital after his accident.

  • 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.
  • 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!
  • 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.
  • Shredding it - in this case is NOT good! Lol Singles yarns can be an issue if used in the warp. I wished someone had told me this when I stared weaving!
  • I wished I had known about this when I started weaving! Shredded yarn is not your friend!
  • Shredded yarn is not your friend. Care is needed when using singles yarns for the warp. I wished I had known about this when I started weaving!
