I don't really have a plan for it, I am experimenting with combining different fine threads together at the moment to see the effect I get. Then I want to try using grasses, and wire, and... I am finding it totally addictive!

Weaving
Yesterday the textile group I belong to were lucky enough to have Sue Lawty as a visiting tutor. Sue is an amazingly inspiring and generous teacher and her work is fabulous - do go and have a look. I have done a little bit of weaving before but not 'proper' tapestry weaving. Usually after one of these days I am far too tired to do much in the evening but yesterday, tired or not, I was back on the weaving the minute I got home! Here is my little sample, not much, it is only 2" wide and I have been using fine threads so it grows very slowly.
