Being a knitter and former weaver these skeins of coloured wool were inspiring, almost enough to drag out my loom again. |
This is one of those kid whirlygig things and as usual I couldn't resist giving it the macro treatment |
These colourful scarves caught my eye at Salamanca market as did the rugs below. |

I visited a weaving studio and fell in love with the coloured yarns on these shelves. Ohh..... to have time to be crafty again. |
These beautifully coloured soaps were also for sale at the market. All handmade too. Just gorgeous. |
Gorgeous and colourful children's toys were also on display at the market. There are a plethora of talented crafts people living in Tasmania. |
Lovely photos. I spent 6yrs Teaching in a Steiner school and that also opened my eyes to the value of colour in our lives. From the very start children are introduced to the colours of the rainbow and they discover through painting ,drawing and craft which colours sit nicely with others, then as they grow more shades of those colours are introduced to them in the same artistic ways.They are surrounded by images of colour that are very reminiscent of your photos.
