Toadstool Fibre Art

I’ll be at this craft market tomorrow. Lots to see and do in Wellington as the street market is on too.

Some flower jars on their way to the craft market tomorrow

I decided to make a distaff and spindle for my felted old lady

Finally warm and dry enough to plant my seeds for natural plant dyes

Two sun & sea woven hanging pictures off to the Secret Island shop in Wivey tomorrow

This one took about 4 weeks to complete and is probably the most trickiest one I’ve done. I used 4 rings and weaved 2 sides separately then wove them together to make like a handbag. I was going to place a plant in the hanger but decided to needlefelt some mushrooms instead. The light is not too good today so hoping to get some more pictures tomorrow.

My latest autumn weave off to the Secret Island gift shop in Wivey soon. Shots taken with different lighting. Hubby thinks it looks like the sycamore gap (that was).

Just finished this one and think it looks like a Tina Turner hairstyle. WiveyWeaver - Yarn Alchemy finally found a use for those scrappy bits that you gave me years ago.
