Sydney Trip

We had a wonderful holiday in Sydney catching up with family. But I also met with a few weavers one afternoon. They showed me what they had made and we had a very useful discussion about weaving in Sydney and where to get materials. The string is still a problem so I hope to get myself organised to sell bundles of cut string of various sizes for various purposes. 

Now that I am back I am trying to upgrade my books because some libraries are wanting copies. There are now three books. The first is 'Making your First Small Korowai' and is great for complete beginners. People can work from the booklet without any other instruction. The second is 'More Tips and Techniques for Korowai Weaving'. It goes into the options for each part of the korowai and design ideas so is really the next step on from the first book. The third book is 'Mawhitiwhiti Patterns and Woven Bags' which shows many of the criss cross patterns used in weaving and how to make the korowai type of woven bags. These booklets open out flat so that working from them is easy. See the books page on this blog. 

Sydney Trip

We are going to Sydney soon.  I will be at the Macquarie Centre Mall, North Ryde on Saturday 17th August.  Anyone weavers interested to meet up I will wait outside the cinemas by the Boost Juice shop at 2pm.  It is one floor up from the food stalls.  Bring some weaving pieces to show if you have some.  
I have written another two books which will be out soon.  One is about design options for korowai called More Tips and Techniques for Weaving Korowai and has lots of ideas and photos and is a next step on from the beginner book.  The other one is called Mawhitiwhiti Patterns and Woven Bags.   Hopefully they will be available when we return from Australia.  I will put them up in the book section then.
