Day 21 - tools. Too many to mention in Weaving • the best tool is the Shuttle - it is a wooden tool with a metal spindle - you put a bobbin on the spindle, wound with yarn ready for the weft and it speeds up the process as you can throw it from side to side more efficiently....

Day 20 New-found skill or technique? Not truly a new-found skill but I have retaught myself nice neat ‘flat fell’ seams to make the linen backs, for my hand woven cushion fronts..

Day 18 re-purpose • 2 out of 3 of these yarns are dyed by me - they are a thick crochet cotton that I had in a box for a couple of years, and were originally a bright white which I will never use - I repurposed them by dyeing in my favourite fondant icing colour ways..!

Day 18 geometric • I like the free-form aspect of the weaving that I usually do, where I just introduce colours at different stages, but every now and then I prefer a geometric pattern such as this ‘hounds tooth’ check which I can create using a set number of threads in the warp and weft, and I find it quite pleasing as the lines (vertically and horizontally) appear

17th day • The structure of the weaving comes from the warp threads that I wind manually on a frame • shown here a long scarf warp made from Indigo coloured eco cotton/recycled polyester, highlighted with plaster pink, silver grey and mustard•

Day 16 connect • I like the way that weaving really does connect you with the basics of creating cloth, the very beginning of textiles, the need not only to keep us warm but to decorate our caves and castles • making connections with other art forms too - this image of my nephew, cutting out a leaf shape to make a stencil and randomly spray painting it in these fantastic colours..

Day 15 sketchbook - posted the wrong picture before here’s the right one ... - I like a new sketchbook but really it’s just lots of paper with bits of weaves stuck down and a few notes about colour, yarn choices and ideas...that wasn’t allowed when I started O level art.....

Day 14 floral - it’s quite hard to make shapes on my simple loom, and I certainly don’t do ‘florals’, however I’m very inspired by the colours on these dahlias and could look at these lovely blooms for hours. Grown on allotments, grandad gardens and in stately homes alike - these are at Blickling Hall (birthplace of Anne Boleyn)
