My “shiviti” piece which I posted the cartoon of in my last entry is at last underway – though it’s going to be submitted as a ‘small’ tapestry, it’s the biggest I’ve done so far – 18 x 24 inches, say 59 x 46 cm, 12/12 warp at 9 epi, unmixed yarn – knitting wools both natural and viscose:
So far, so good – apart from one broken warp and probaly too much white! Anyway, it’s going to keep me quite busy over the summer break.
A person of uncertain age who has lived in Melbourne, Australia for 50 years or so after a little intercontinental wandering, and while collecting the usual life baggage, has NOT been a barrista, desert explorer or bus driver, but HAS been a proofreader-editor, computer programmer and psychiatric social worker, has outlived several cats and accumulated daughters, great-nephews, a soulmate and piles of books, many unread, and now listens to classical, jazz and folk, potters around on looms and cameras, sketches and doodles, occasionally writes words with a pen (or keyboard), and records some of the various results here (pause for breath).
Yes, it’s going well, Mary. I hope I can keep it up. Am currently losing time in hospital with an asthma attack – very frustrating.
These are all part of the second year SWTafe assignments by the way.
I hope to be more participatory in group in 2014 – and a belated Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to you!

What a lot of things you are doing! I love the bamboo one especially. And the curves in the ‘shiviti’ one are gorgeous, sort of languorous and restful.

Thanks Michelle – I got a ‘late pass’ for my last assignment of second year – ‘a small tapestry’ and have probably bitten off a very large mouthfull…

Looking good, Misha! Is this part of an assignment, or just something you’re doing in between?
