Off the Loom

On a very bright, but chilly, Saturday morning I took the train to Bridge of Allan for the British Tapestry Group AGM and workshop.

Off the train I stopped to admire this heron standing in the sun.

Through four different weaving activities we created pieces to be joined together in one collaborative structure, although with our donated tapestries.  A circular cardboard loom produced this jellyfish.

Woven trees, or is that a wine flute?

Hidden secrets inside matchboxes.

And yes, I have missed my stop.  And finally weaving on to branches.  How different these will look as the leaves fall. 

Together these create a structure.

Could this be a shelter?  Harnessing secrets, surrounded by a miniature forest, covered in magical charms?  You can see more pictures of the day here.
