For today's hunt I chose to show you a few photos of what I do. Remember that the name of my blog is I Was Born2cree8... creative Iz me, lol. I have done many crafts over the years, and for a few years now I've been spinning and weaving.
This is me sitting on my (now late) Uncle Johnnie's lawn in Smithers, BC. This was in August 2003. I was there for a family reunion and my Mom's 80th birthday.
Some wool I processed from the raw fleece, then spun & dyed in 2005I've used my hand spun yarn as the weft in several woven scarves and for knitting and felting some hats.
The table runner in the 2 photos above is the one I wove for my sister, Marcy. Both warp and weft are a commercial yarn called Orlec. I love weaving with it as it's got a nice shininess to it that brightens up the finished product, in my opinion. I won first place with this table runner at the Salmon Arm Fair in September 2006
I made this table runner for my Mom for Christmas 2006. It's a slightly different weave than the one for Marcy. This is my table it's on here. Mom has it on a wooden table and it looks much better
This table runner is very wrinkled up, having been in my suitcase for awhile. It would look gross on my table, so I took it to put on sister Anne's table before giving it to brother Terry and Alana for their wedding gift in May 2007
Another Christmas 2006 gift, I made this out of "recycled" materials. I cut up old clothes, lol. I stuffed it with sheep fleece that is not of a good enough quality to spin, but I don't like to throw it away. The rest of that fleece is going into a doggy cushion for Reba.
Plum jam that I made last year. Last September, as well as the woven table runner, I entered a jar of plum jam, a jar of plum jelly, and some photographs. I took Honorable Mention with one of the photos, nothing with the plum jelly, and First Place with the Plum Jam.For more of how I made the table runners, and more about the Salmon Arm Fair last year, as well as more on my various creative pursuits in the last few years - check out my Fibre Arts label on this blog, or go to my old blog Born2cree8 (link in sidebar at bottom of Labels)
