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).
A short video to demonstrate that occasionally my silk scarf weaving doesn’t always go according to plan.
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.
People assume it was a dream to live here, a professional move or family connections. What actually happened is that we set sail on a 6 month sailing journey in 1990, and 3 and a half years later, ended up in France. Watch my short presentation on YouTube to see and hear the full story
Imagine a scarf that will lift your spirits and reflect your colourful character – this is that scarf. I promise it will be listed in the shop in a few short days. In the meantime, here’s a short video that will make you smile.
A short time ago, I made a couple of videos showing how I attached the ondulé reed to my loom and how I adjusted it during weaving. I was on my own and had to fix the camera in place and hope for the best. So, it’s not perfect, but I think you will get the idea.
In January, I was contacted by the producer of L’Infiltré and asked if they could come and film me in my workroom. The video is in French but you should get the idea from the filming.
