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




Aroha
(love in maori)

Knitting, once again my hand dyed yarn.
Fluffy yarn around the heart and seed beads on the inside.
Stretched over a canvas and stitched on to it with seed beads.
Fluffy yarn on the sides. 15x30cm.

  3. Tack! *rodnar klädsamt*

    Ja, det har varit otroligt kul att göra dem och det bubblar upp nya idéer hela tiden. Jobbar redan på nya projekt.

    Och tänk vad kul det hade varit om ni hade varit här och sett dem live!
