Finding inspiration in everything from travel, nature and even a shopping catalogues, I am exploring many art mediums. I have always used the "right side" of my brain but lack formal training so I explore ideas and listen to tutorials on the net. I work at anything but a zen approach determined to create and explore at breakneck speed. I am burdened with a 1000 ideas and am happiest when exploring the creative medium of the day.

Pin weaving- the perfect business card holder
Spent a very hot afternoon using scraps of wool to weave up a design for my business cards. The first one shrunk more than expected but the second one was perfect. I think you need to allow mor than 10 % shrinkage as the project gets bigger. I also changed the weft to a crochet cotton and this stopped the wool from getting stuck when combing it up for a tighter weaver.

Weaving Boot Camp
A few images of an intense week, with temperature over 40 degrees and no air conditioning. Shame on ANU for not providing appropriate working conditions for students.
