Am loving my new Mirrix loom! As I’m doing more tapestry work now I thought it would be good to go on a course to build my knowledge and skills so I enrolled on Liz Whiteside’s Artful Threads course.
The majority of the pieces that you create are just a few inches in size so I warped the loom to fit several on. Here’s the first piece, a beach scene where colours are blended to create the tones of the beach, sea and sky. I’m now working on the third piece and will photograph it once completed together with the second piece. I’ve learned a lot in the short time I’ve been following the course and am developing much tidier ways of working! It’s so therapeutic to sit and work in my studio, just me and the loom, it helps me forget some of my pain.

I’ve had a terrific day at the local arts and crafts festival, there was only my little embroidered mouse that didn’t win anything! Thank you to Shaun for his unending patience living in a house that’s full of wool, spinning wheels, looms etc.

Have taken my entries down to the local arts and crafts festival, and then enjoyed a custard tart with my mug of tea. I know how to live it up! 🤣

I’m a novice when it comes to tapestry but decided to challenge myself by weaving an homage to Frida Kahlo.

I’m very much a novice when it comes to tapestry. So what possessed me to decide to do a portrait homage to Frida Kahlo 🤣. It’s coming along though and I’m pretty pleased with it so far.
