The Unseen

The Unseen The wind tickles my hair in the darkness. It flirts, trying to find openings between my clothing and my warm skin, trying to find refuge from the cold, to be comforted by the warmth close to my heart. The hands of the night gently cradle and lift my jaw, tilting my head backward, lifting my head to the stars, to the curved round whiteness, to the darkness adorned with jewels. The hungry chasm in my eye searches for images. What is within and beyond my vision? Is that which fills the belly of this chasm the only reality? The sperm on its’ journey intuitively moves toward its’ glowing destination. Is it aware of what is beyond that dark tunnel of flesh? Blackness is my breath. The memory of the sparkling sky is etched on to the back of my eyelids. I feel. I hear. I am the wind rushing through the leaves. I am the stream, stones softly rattling. I am the wave skidding across the sand. I am the blood surging through my arteries. The wind waits. It stops searching for comfort. Stillness Squeaking calls alert all to the opening of the east. The carmine glow gently […]

𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭 | 𝐇𝐞𝐢𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐦 𝐓𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬 Luxury Handwoven Blankets 🌏Stories from life & global adventures 🧩Woven into unique collector pieces Explore ⬇️
  • 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.
  • 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!
