An amazing glaze too!
Me thinks a dry barium glaze, the copper carbonate makes the blue/purples in glazes which I love!
Correct me if I'm wrong...my clay brain is a bit dusty!
Today I'm linking in with Lou from Little Green Shed!
She has a blog link in, every Saturday, where you can showcase what 'Nature' things you have brought into the home called
"Nature in the Home"
Isn't that up our alley? ....join in..let's show them what lovely Aussie Flora we have!!
Mine today is a weed?
We picked it up on the way home from the beach...as you do!
A New Macrame
I'm on a roll, this one I have dip dyed twice, a bit of a wet logistic nightmare but well worth the results?
I will continue with this type of macramé wall hanging I think and will have them in the shop soon!
.....a small but heart felt thanks to you lovely folk who have taken the time to comment time and time again...it spur's me on and I really really appreciate it! xx
Seen in an oppy by another new friend, who knew I was on the look out!...Thanks Estelle !!!!
Now it's assembled...I'm slowly figuring out how to warp it!
Gotta love retro instructions!
...then it's weave time!
I have loads of naughty tassels to repurpose and I'm slightly excited!!!
If your in Melbourne?..I'm so over this heat! :(
If your not?
What's the weather like at your place?
Pippa
wow what a lovely blue pot....goes so well with your macrame piece too...which is a stunner...the dyeing has worked really well. Good luck with warping the loom - its a nightmare....I could never weave If I had to set up a loom ..would drive me crazy.
ReplyDeleteI am going to need 'luck' but I'm determined!
DeleteGlad you like the double dye, Ray! :)
As kids we used to call those fluffy grassheads 'bunny tails' 'cos they looked like them to us, I've always loved them but can't find any around us here.
ReplyDeleteI like the name 'bunny tails', very cute!
DeleteIt's Easter soon too, could work up a theme there!
Beautiful pot and gorgeous new wall hanging. You're amazingly prolific! I can't believe how quickly you're turning out new macrame pieces.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dana! ...I'm in training if only Macramé was an Olympic sport! Lol!
DeleteYou're the queen of macrame. What does one do to 'warp' a loom? I should Wiki that term. So much 70s craft. I'm in overload!
ReplyDeleteYou have come to the right place, if 70's craft is your thing!
DeleteTo warp, is to thread up the loom for weaving, a bit fiddly!
But I will conquer the loom! :)
Your new wall hanging is unbelievably gorgeous!! I love your dip dye technique, it makes such an amazing effect! I'm so excited to see the magic that'll come out of that loom!
ReplyDeleteYour new WG is a beauty!
Thanks Tove! Fingers crossed on the magic, Lol :)
DeleteI need a dose of whatever your having pip. the flower/weed pics are so good. Lou`s linky is great, so many pretty blogs!....look out world the womans got a loom and she knows how to use it!!....um?...whats a naughty tassel?
ReplyDeleteAllison x
Pear cider, home brew, very good!
DeleteGlad you liked Lou's linky, loads of lovely people!
A naughty tassel is one that misbehaves in the dye bath or doesn't fluff up so well!
But I have come across ones that use profanity and tell bawdy jokes too!
Oh Pip how gorgeous! love it all!!! You are so inspiring. Thanks for the mention and linking up again. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Lou, my pleasure, we all love plants here and link ups! :)
DeleteIt's a triumph Pippa, I can't wait to see what you come up with when you master your loom x
ReplyDeleteThanks Sister! ......I will do my best! Love a challenge! :)
ReplyDeleteHow pretty! You're so clever! I love the way you've styled everything too.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! ...it's nice to style my work once finished, it keeps the joy of the making alive.
DeleteI love the styling you have done on your blog, very inspirational :)
Pippa - honestly I don't understand how you make these lovely wall hangings - one being more gorgeous than the next!?! Amazing. The double dip dye might be difficult but is very beautiful. Love your new WGP too.
ReplyDeleteCan I tell you? .......I think about it, make a picture in my mind and go for it and hope it works out ok?
DeleteI think the dip dying us something I will continue with, very excited about that! :)
Think you are definitely on a winner with the wall hangings. They are stunning. I'm intrigued by the Warp factor. Looking forward to seeing the end result! x
ReplyDeleteThink time warp!
DeleteI might need your retro skills to help translate the instructions! :)
Would LOVE to buy something like this for my big white wall which needs filling! X
