About five months ago, I told you about a scarf I made that had attracted some attention. I had then promised to post pics of other similar scarves I had made - here they are. Better late than never.
Some of my favourites from my Autumn/Winter 2008 collection:
Ghost gum scarf
Coloured Sands scarf
Platypus scarf- an Aunty Shabby one-off
Eucalyptus scarf
Close-up of Lorikeet scarf - another one-off design
As you may have already guessed, there is a distinctly Australian theme to this collection, with pieces named after iconic flora and fauna, special places or Dreamtime stories. The colour palette ranges from soft pinks and yellows, through to steely greys and rich browns, and vibrant greens, reds and oranges, reflecting the great diversity and uniqueness of our continent. I have used a variety of wools, including merino, virgin, hand spun and hand dyed wools. All pieces are limited edition and some are one-offs. There are more photos of the rest of the collection on my flickr site.
The collection also features several handbags, made from felt in earthy tones, and embellished with wool. Again, all are limited run, but most are one-off designs. Here are a few I love:
Uluru bag
Rainbow serpent bag- an Aunty Shabby one-off design
I would be interested to hear your feedback on these pieces, so please let me know what you think!
This looks absolutely perfect. All these tinny details are made with lot of background knowledge. I like it a lot. This was a useful post and I think it is rather easy to see from the other comments as well that this post is well written and useful.
