PHOTO PRACTICE DAY 5

I’m doing another pegloom project, using recycled materials. I’m trying not to buy anything new, unless I really need to.

I bought a Scottish wool scarf from a charity shop, cut it into strips & am weaving it on my handmade, pine & beech wood, pegloom. I’m also using some boucle yarn for the weft, and electric blue, cotton for the warp.

PHOTO PRACTISE DAY 3

Hand crochet wire vessels, with multi coloured, merino wool, pencil roving, sheep’s fleece.

I’m getting better, and enjoying it more, but more practise is needed.

Let me know what you think?
