Gardening

I went to Guild yesterday and spent most of the day sitting down so survived quite well. Indeed I felt well enough today to do gardening. Lots of planting little plants, watering other little plants,erecting bamboo stakes to plant the sweet pea seedlings round and so on.

I have taken some photos. First the auricula theatre which is now mounted on the wall and has flowering auriculas in it and secondly some really attractive very dark tulips.

About Me

I am weaver and - -. I dye my yarns with acid dyes, I paint my warps, put fabric collages and stencils on my weaving. I have three looms, a 12 inch wide, 12 shaft Meyer for demos and courses, a 30 inch Louet Kombo which is nominally portable but has a stand, two extra beams and a home-made device containing a fan reed. And last a 32 shaft Louet Megado which is computer controlled, has a sectional warp and a second warp beam and I am the proud owner of an AVL warping wheel which I love to bits and started by drilling holes in. I inserted a device for putting a cross in. I have just acquired an inkle loom and had a lesson from an expert so I can watch TV and weave at the same time. I am interested in weaving with silk mostly 60/2 although I do quite a bit with 90/2 silk. I also count myself as a bookbinder with a special interest in Coptic binding.
