I’m so please with the way these have turned out.
I love using up ends of colours and often do so with a Jigsaw design silk scarf.
Weaving curves with the ondulé or fan reed. I don’t use it very often as it is hard on my back.
These silk glasses cases have been very popular over the years and make wonderful gifts for family and friends
This video is an attempt to show you the irridescence in each of the scarves. (I say scarves, but they are 43cms wide and could also be worn as a shawl).
At the moment there are not many Stained Glass design scarves, but I will be weaving more throughout the year and wanted to share a few details.

It is so lovely to be able to exhibit again. I really enjoy meeting customers, plus going to different shows is an opportunity to meet other artists in various areas of work.
