Just realised that I did`nt describe any of the picks. The felting are samples and a skirt made at the Vilte workshop. The wombat is the infamous Wiggles we have been raising since his Mum was killed in an MVA,
The dyeing is at a fantastic weekend at Tullah for all things fibre in January.

Catching up

Hav`nt posted here in ages really should lift my game. The days seem to some how escape me. I have recently been part of a 4 day felting workshop with Vilte. Sharing new skills with my classmates was great . \
Now just preparing for the Natural Dye Symposium in Melbourne at the end of June.
This weekend the Tasmanian Guild`s annual exhibition opens in Launceston and I have some pieces accepted for that.
Cheers Jen

I have some more photos to up load . The last one worked well . I have a bundle in the pressure cooker with some rose leaves soaked in iron and rhubarb leaves. I t looks really good just now. I am about to dye some Afghan crochet pieces in English Leicester yarn I think they will be cushions.
Productive day I have also written a workshop proposal for a class in natural dyeing at a fantastic new fibre event in the new year. It will be at a small village in the wilderness of Tasmania`s West Coast on the edge of the Tarkine forests. It is the first time it has been held and I am really looking forward to it.

Hi all still feel like I have training wheels with blogging. Spring is here I have finished study for the year and now to create.
I have lots of plans and have just made a nice bundle to steam.
Baby walnuts are on the way for dye baths.

Winter has sure arrived

AS Winter arrives so does a break from Textile Art School. Hopefully time to do lots of dying and knitting and a little weaving.
