Using Up Colours
I love using up ends of colours and often do so with a Jigsaw design silk scarf.

Weaving curves with the ondulé or fan reed. I don’t use it very often as it is hard on my back.
This video is an attempt to show you the irridescence in each of the scarves. (I say scarves, but they are 43cms wide and could also be worn as a shawl).
At the moment there are not many Stained Glass design scarves, but I will be weaving more throughout the year and wanted to share a few details.
A short video to demonstrate that occasionally my silk scarf weaving doesn’t always go according to plan.
In 2016 I spent a week at Marian’s studio in Arnheim, Netherlands, studying her Echo technique. Since then I have woven dozens of scarves using this technique and her deflected double weave designs.
It is so lovely to be able to exhibit again. I really enjoy meeting customers, plus going to different shows is an opportunity to meet other artists in various areas of work.
Why not treat yourself to a chic silk shawl or wide scarf that shimmers and catches the light with every graceful movement?
My plum-coloured Dancing Squares silk shawl was bought by a lady who first saw it three weeks ago. Thinking it would be the perfect gift for her elderly mother, she came back several times to admire it and take photos for her father who was gifting it to her mother. How wonderful. I would have loved to have seen her face on opening her thoughtful gift.
As the wedding season gets going, bride, bridesmaids and mother-of-the-bride accessories are something to think about. At this time of year the evenings can still be quite cool. So a soft silk shawl is the perfect wedding accessory to drape over your shoulders during dinner or afterwards.
This particular shawl was handwoven last week. Made of pure silk it is off white or cream in colour and it shimmers gently as it catches the light.
