Time flies and it’s a while ago now, but thanks a lot for those who visited our degree show last summer. Fortunately I could exhibit my handspun yarns and woven scarves next to the windows from which visitors could see the beautiful hills of Bath - inspiration source of the works. There also on the show were a book of watercolour drawings of seasonal hill views and a book of the back story introducing different breeds of wool, plant dyes, and how they were processed. And some vintage tools I love. I hope you enjoyed my work and other fabulous works by my friend designers!
もう随分時が経ってしまいましたが、作夏の卒業制作展へお越し頂いた皆様、ありがとうございました。幸運にも窓のあるスペースでの展示となり、作品のテーマであるBathの丘の風景と共にご覧頂くことができました。季節ごとの丘の風景を描いた水彩画と、制作過程の本も展示し、実際に使用した羊毛や染料が糸や織物になるまでの過程をご紹介しました。日本とイギリスの古道具もいくつか。たくさんの方にお越し頂き、たいへん嬉しく思います。またどこかでお会いしましょう。

Now it’s open to public! You have a week to see everyone’s fabulous works at Bath Spa University.
Bath Spa大学卒業制作展の一般公開が始まりました。今月18日までです。
I am exhibiting Oka. Hills. project - natural dyed handspun yarns and handwoven scarves. Books of watercolour drawing and making process will take you through the journey of the project from the inspiration to weaving…
草木染め手紡ぎ羊毛糸と手織りの布作品、「Oka. Hills.」を展示しています。創作のインスピレーションとなった丘の風景の水彩画をまとめた本と、原材料・制作過程についてまとめた本もご覧いただけます。
Those are experimental fabric samples and show space drawing I made in March. Please come and see what the actual space looks like. I’m very glad that I received some positive feedbacks so far - including a sweet compliment from 9 year old girl - but I would love to hear your voices, too!
これは3月の私の作業机の様子です。まだ実験的な段階のサンプルの奥に見えるのが、展示空間のデザイン画です。実際の展示の様子は、ぜひお越しになってご覧ください。既に（9歳の女の子を含む）数名の方からご感想を頂戴しておりますが、残り一週間、皆様のお声を楽しみに致しております。
I took a chance to bust out the spinning wheel last night, and spun until my ankles ached. Good times. . Fibre is @sealymacwheely’s Lauren colourway. . #slowfashion #spinningwheel #spinnersofinstagram #spinstergram #spinning #yarnlove #yarnporn #handspun #handspunstagram #handspunyarn

I got 660 yards of light fingering weight BFL/nylon. This was dyed by Mad Color Fiber Arts. I was originally going to make socks with it, but I’m not sure now.

Next up is a BFL/mohair mix. I bought these as fleeces and made a couple of batts a while ago. I’m spinning them as singles.

4 grams of cotton done! I estimate around 2500 yards. I’m not sure if I want to ply it. I might experiment with gelatin or cornstarch sizing and try to weave with it as singles. We shall see.

I finished a pound of BFL the other day. One ply was natural and one ply was in @portfiber colorway Sink to the Bottom in mixed BFL. I think it’s a worsted weight and I’m not sure of the yardage.

Having another go at spinning flax. Something has clicked and I’m enjoying it this time. I’m excited to see it through to the end.

I love marled yarns so I’m spinning this oatmeal BFL to be plied with this rich blue I picked up from Casey @portfiber. It’s her colorway Sink to the Bottom on mixed BFL.
