I love Dijanne's photo collages she's been uploading from her travels and shamelessly investigated how she did it. I often find myself with a bunch of pictures to upload and this seemed to be the ideal answer.
Above, a collage of the stall selling the sari yarn in the market in Nelson, New Zealand, last year. I will admit that the two hanks I bought are still intact.
Get out those needles again, Gill! Someone on the felting workshop I attended last week was wearing a gorgeous simple garter stitch, fringed scarf which I couldn'y stop admiring, so I've got two skeins of sari silk on the way, in order to flatter her most sincerely.
A record of my journey towards
"An elegant sufficiency, content,
retirement, rural quiet, friendship, books,
ease and alternate labour, useful life"
Not there yet. Some way to go!
I knit, I sew, I embroider, I paint and draw and occasionally keep a journal. I do funny things with paper, paint and glue, I make books and other stuff. Not much of this is of any use (with the possible exception of the socks I knit) but I find fun in everything I do. I love colour, texture, pattern and want to do it all perfectly - preferably in the next five minutes.
When I'm not making stuff myself, I'm teaching someone else how to do it (or teaching someone else to teach someone else to do it)
