I had a lovely surprise in the mailbox yesterday - this card and fabric postcard from Carol in the UK.
I really enjoyed working with flax, so I made these little "roses" from the plant I have at home. 
This is the square bowl I made at the class - my first attempt at flax weaving. It's on a bit of a funny angle in the photo. It's about 6 inches high. 
And here is the basket ("kete" in Maori) I also made but didn't finish in class. I've since finished it at home.
You are so talented!!! I'm amazed every time I visit your blog, I swear.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool! Another string to your bow!
ReplyDeleteI like these weavings a lot - especially the flowers - how fun.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are lovely Shirley.
ReplyDeleteI'm just catching up, that weaving looks like fun. And I don't think a mother should be expected to "just get over it' when it comes to losing a child, no matter how long ago it happened! That was a touching post, and very restrained! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI love Flax baskets - I notice you have a flax plant in your lovely front garden. Are you going to use that as a resource for future projects?
ReplyDeleteBellos trabajos.
