It’s her song

I have finished my piece of art for Amnesty’s fund raising art auction.
It’s made of wool with a frame of novelty yarn and it has seed beads knitted into it.
It measures 40cm x 30cm.

This piece will be for sale at an on-line auction for Amnesty. The money will
(among other things) be used against domestic violence, hence the message.

Unfortunately I don’t have the details for the auction yet, so stay tuned.

Sneak peak

My piece of art for Amnesty International is slowly coming together.
Here is a sneak peak.

Welcome to the fair

Last weekend was the big annual school fair at our school.

I wanted people to feel welcome so I knitted a colorful piece
full of green and blue beads.


The school fair is over but the woolly tag is still there,
welcoming the kids to school.

Isle of view

Isle of view... Say it out loud three, four, five times and listen to the words.
Isle of view. Isle of view. I...

Showtime!

The exhibition “A Good Yarn” opened yesterday and it’s
an amazing variety of textile art. I wish I could show you
but I was not allowed to take photos (which makes sense).

Here are photos of my work
