Challenge

The idea behind the challenge was to create 12 projects in 12 months, covering 12 disciplines linked with textile crafts.
 
 

This year of challenge is now over, but for purposes of consolidating the portfolio and written work I am transferring it here for the time being.  

It is my intention to undertake 12 different craft disciplines during the course of the year, and undertake 12 projects.  The rules of this task though are very much still being written...

Challenge 9:  Felting

Challenge 10, 11 and 12 - to be formalised.    and I have joined the Devon Guilding of Spinners Dyers and Weavers who have been generous with this inspiration.... 

 

 

I am writing some poetry and prose to accompany each task and will probably self-publish something at the end of the year.  Here I am - sewing blanket edging under the watchful eye of Sarah Harris at the Spinning Weal.
