Fill My World With Colour

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.


Being a teacher, I am in a position to collect weird and wonderful bits and pieces.  These were collected so the children could use them as a sorting activity or as a printing object.  I tipped the out of the floor and played with them for awhile and came up with this.  Find the odd one out?

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.
Many years ago I studied a course called Visual Exploration as part of a handweaving course. This course taught me so much and opened my eyes to the impact that colour makes in our lives. Today's selection of photographs are to celebrate the positive effect that colour has made in my life. I hope you enjoyed them:
