Managed to embed my handmade bird's nest into my 2

Managed to embed my handmade bird's nest into my 2.5 metre long hedgerow-inspired weave. Phew!

It was tricky and hard on my shoulder (I have had to take a break from weaving this piece to heal a bit), so very happy it is in and I am nearly ready to install the weave into my studio ceiling for Oxfordshire Artweeks which opens May 17th in my area, site 473 Chipping Norton 🎨

You are so welcome to visit my studio to see my work and talk art over a cuppa coffee/tea and cake! ☕🍰🎨

These are inspired by ancestral 'journey sticks '

These are inspired by ancestral 'journey sticks ' - a tradition practised by many ancient tribes to tell the story of a journey by collecting and wrapping natural materials along the way. Embellishing the wood was a way of showing respect and gratitude for nature's abundance.

In this case I have used various twigs from our local forest and hedgerows wrapped with naturally-dyed local wools, papers and muslin painted with my natural inks and paints, birch bark and bark cloth.

These are very calming and satisfying to make, like little fibre art sketches, each with their own composition and character.

Wrapping feels like an act of preservation or healing.

I will seal the ends with local beeswax before float mounting them in box frames for @oxfordshireartweeks 🎨
