Creating different coloured wools with tea bags!

Most recently I have been using a range of herbal tea bags to dye my wools for knitting. This is a exciting process and I have enjoyed making my own unique selection of colours.







                  

The exhibitions I will be taking part in this year!

 Exhibition at the Walcot Chapel Gallery in Bath - 5th April to the 9th April 2011. 
This is a group exhibition which I will be working towards this year. I will be involved in creating a series of poster designs for the event, asking local businesses for sponsorship, fundraising and arranging food and drink for the opening night.


 


Towards the exhibition I will be creating art and textile work to feature in the show!
The private view will be held on the 5th April 2011 from 6pm.




Exhibition at the American Museum in Bath - 27th of May to the 6th of June 2011.
This is a exhibition which I will be working towards this year within textiles. I visited the American Museum on my own in the summer and gather lots of inspiration for this project.    


 

After visiting the Museum I discovered the collection of maps they had on display.


 I felt very inspired by the patterns and shapes on all the maps! 


I decided to focus on drawing the map of America..............
