It is June which means Roland Garros and I find it very hard to work when I really want to be watching the tennis.    As a result I spend the mornings weaving and the afternoons twizzling (my word for twisting fringes) the scarves that have been finished with the computer in front of me tuned in to the tennis.    It seems to work.  

At the moment I am building up stock for the boutique in Sainte Suzanne (more later) and also for the end of year exhibitions - Christmas is a busy time for me.    

Today I am working on a simple but colourful scarf in citrus colours.   It's a colour scheme I use often at this time of year : summer, light, colourful.  Let me know what you think.   The photo shows the idea as it appears in my weaving software.   The scarf will obviously be "similar but not the same".



 


I've decided to resurrect this blog but largely based on my weaving work.   

Back in 2012 I was given a table loom for my birthday and a new life began.    The table loom grew in size until it eventually became a Louet Megado with 32 shafts.    I started exhibiting and selling my work locally in 2015 and later on I was invited to exhibit at various Salons des Metiers d'Arts.    

I don't know how successful I'll be at writing the blog each week but I'll try!   In the meantime, if you've got this far, you can find some of my work by clicking this link through to my online shop.
