Buzzing .......

I’m buzzing after spending the day with like minded 

people at the fabulous studio of textile artist

H-anne-MADE - Anne Brook

The workshop was led by the very talented 

Viv Sliwka of Hens Teeth Art 

And I got to spend the day with friend Lyn who 

I haven’t seen for ages. 

We were all given the same brief but every piece 

was so different 

Handstitched needlecases/fabric journals

Can’t stay I’ve got stitching to do.

Spending the day with people on the same wavelength 

as yourself is the best medicine around.

Roll on the next one.

What’s on your Workdesk

It’s my friend’s 50th birthday this week

so I made this little patchwork square and attached it

to a jute bag

Hope she likes it.

How’s your endorphins

I don’t know whether it’s the promise of 

British summer time around the corner

or whether I’m coming out of the fog 

I’ve been in for the past few months.

but I can feel the creative endorphins 

kicking in.

Ive been looking at the book bags that 

I made last year for some of my special books 

and I think I might make some more or maybe 

I’ll make some more crazy paving ribbon

Let’s hope that the sun will have his hat on soon 

and brighten us all up.

Happy weekend

What’s on Your Workdesk

Hello desk hoppers thanks for popping by.

While we had all the snow I’ve been busy stitching.
The tree is going to the Whitworth Gallery in Manchester.
It’s going to be part of a massive collection of stitched trees for a project by Textile Artist 

ALICE KETTLE

Hope that’s the end of the snow for this year.

Right off desk hopping over at Julia’s place.

WOYWW

Cat up a tree

My twig weaving from the weekend has turned into a 

Cat up a tree

Look what else you can do with twigs.

This picture isn’t mine but I once made a 

towel rail with a piece of driftwood I picked up on the beach in Abersoch, Wales.

Twigs, tree bark and wire collected on the 

moorland where I live.

Twigs are also useful for hanging your textile pieces from.

Hope this isn’t the start of another fetish 

Haha

Twigs and wool

No I’m not making a slingshot 

I've been on a twig/branch weaving workshop with my Mum.

This could get addictive

But first I’ve got to do the shopping and maybe I'll
find a few more twigs along the way

Happy Monday readers
