Words left unsaid…

How many words are left unsaid into a place where time abandons memories and fragments of thoughts melt in silence?

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.

𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭 | 𝐇𝐞𝐢𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐦 𝐓𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬 Luxury Handwoven Blankets 🌏Stories from life & global adventures 🧩Woven into unique collector pieces Explore ⬇️
  • 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.
  • You too can weave this. I’m a weaver. Bad*ss sassy weaver actually! Simple tools. Ashford rigid heddle. Gorgeous handwoven blankets. 

I share tips and ideas freely, so you too can weave soul-filled items Get comfy, follow along and stay a while. I may even make you laugh along the way.
  • Welcome to my occasionally unhinged weaving studio. You can save this and share with your bestie as a reminder that ‘Life’s too short not to have a good laugh!’
  • Save this as a reminder when things get a bit tough, just go to your loom. 
Come follow along to see if next time my brain.exe is functioning!
  • Oops. Save this as a reminder if you ever accidentally missed some slots threading your reed. 
It’s an easy fix as long as you find the perfect weight to keep the replaced threads the same tension as the rest of the warp. 
Always surprises here in my studio. Need a bit more of that? Come join in!
  • When all else fails, just weave! That’s just what I do! Save this as a reminder to make your weaving your go-to when things just aren’t going the way you thought. 
 Hang around to see if next time I endeavour to make content, my brain.exe is functioning!
