Not long until BoV biennial exhibition

I hope you like the new images I have posted on the Photos page. Making these works has kept me busy in the months after attending Fibres Ballarat.
I was given access to a lot of Kennedia nigricans, which is a lovely Australian native creeper so I made a big effort to use it while it was green. I hope you like the results.
I am still using blue baling twine as I keep thinking of different forms to make and it is so easy to use and carry around with me. I find that the bright shiny colour also photographs well. Jigsaw puzzle pieces have been inspiring to use - believe it or not! Recently I have incorporated them in a hexagonal weave basket (see picture on the left). They do provide great colour and pattern to a basket - it's just not easy stitching them in place.
It is not long now until the Basketmakers of Victoria biennial exhibition 19 November - 1 December at the Collingwood Gallery in Victoria. A few of the pieces on my website will be in this show. Some of my baling twine pieces will be at the Katoomba Fine Art Gallery in N.S.W. from 1 - 30 November .
