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

Protect me

Bead knitting, black cotton yarn with more than 1600 silver beads knitted in to it. Stretched over a canvas and stitched on to it with metallic seed beads.
Fluffy yarn on the sides. 45x25cm.

Side effect of the swine flu
(Pooh and Eeyore decided to have Piglet put down)

Tapestry (16.000 stitches!) with knitted frame.
My own lovely hand dyed cotton yarn. 50x40cm

Knitting, once again my hand dyed yarn.

Sneak peak

I’m going to be part of a textile art exhibition here in Devonport!

It’s so exciting!
I’m frantically working on a couple of really cool pieces. I mean frantically,
the exhibition opens next weekend and my pieces are not finished...

Here is a sneak peak

There are around 1500 beads involved...

Yep, I do tapestry as well. :-)
