Saori

Six weavers from Morisset Spinners and Weavers went to a two day workshop run by Kaz Madigan, - curiousweaver,id.au. What fun we had. Kaz was an inspiring teacher, and shared so much knowledge and encouraged our creativity. I was so impressed with the ease of using the Saori loom, that I bought one! Now all my spare time is spent playing on it, creating fun items.




Long and skinny hangings


 I went to a workshop run by Liz Williamson. Lots of experimental stuff I had mostly done before, but when I finished, the long skinny piece came together as a hanging. So then I did another one, just because it was fun!

Overdyeing


Overdyeing
These two scarves were almost identical. But I was disappointed that the hand-painted warp did not feature at all in the finished scarves. So I overdyed one of them with turquoise. I thought it would give purple effects on the red, but instead, gave a range of colours.
