wraps and scarves

With my exhibition at Wollombi at the end of May/early June, I have been having fun making whatever I feel like. Here are some of the scarves and wraps I have just made:

Autumn tones in this 5 metre woven length. I haven't decided yet how I will make it up.

more wall hangings

I have been enjoying making some more wall hangings lately. Mostly earthy colours, with sticks, grasses and other plant material incorporated into the wools.

This is a clasped weave, decorated with seeds from a Norfolk Island Pine

this one is about1.5 metres long, and includes hemp fibre, NZ flax and a jacaranda seed pod.
