Cabbage Tree Serenade

2010-07-10T02:46:00.001-07:00

Finished at last "Cabbage Tree Serenade" is my tribute to this wonderfully quirky NZ tree.

Julie's inspiration

2010-06-26T20:17:00.001-07:00

I was inspired by the light which falls on the tidal mud and crab holes giving different colours and textures as the sea comes and goes in the estuary. Mangroves were used to colour my work, they are also used to protect the shoreline from damaging effects of storms. They also serve as a nursery for spawing fish.

Just to give you a glimpse of my work in progress for Earthwaulks...
Now for a title!

Detail of Christine s work

2010-04-28T18:14:00.000-07:00

I have finished my piece. 2 wall hangings, using natural fibres - wool, silk and hemp, and fibres dyed with madder roots, walnuts and, 1972 red wine, and the odd bit of metal thrown into the dye pot.

They depict the earth from above. Haven't got the title sorted yet.

Jill Making Progress

2010-04-20T17:15:00.000-07:00

I decided to dye all my hand made felt before starting to form the figures.

I still have a way to go but have finished making the tree that will be the centre of my piece.

I just love cabbage trees and they have been the inspiration for this work.

The plants i have used for dying are: comfrey, rosemary, onions skins, beetroot, eucalyptus, dandelion and dahlias

raumati dreaming

2010-04-20T14:14:00.000-07:00

Would love to spend some more time relaxing with my pieces and getting to know them but deadlines loom. A few more days and they will be off, the work began in Papakowhai, Porirua where they were made to Raumati where we are setting up our new home to Blenheim....to be joined with the other feltsisters works.

I have made an installation based on our recent 'Earthwaulk' - taking Imogen my teenage daughter to Japan last October in the knowledge that she loves animated examples of Japanese food - family is close to cooking, is close to dyeing methods, which for me is close to felting which is close to home. Have made a felt wrap too in favourite colours inspired by autumnal shades we saw in Japan, made from NZ wool on a felby base bought from Tracy White and silk from the slow cloth artisan studios in Kiryu, Gunma, haven't decided which to send yet or both...? will sleep on it a little more ...

while wandering to Aotearoa this month

i took advantage of the local postal service

so my 'landskin' has already arrived in Blenheim

which makes me happy

not only finished early

but [from what i've seen] Christine's house is FAR less likely to have moths than mine

and so the work should be intact for August!

[also it takes away the temptation to wear it when winter arrives....]

for now here's a fragment, but you'll have to go to

Millennium Gallery : Blenheim August 27 - October 3 2010

Creative Tauranga : November 14 - December 13 2010

Pataka, Porirua : January 13 - January 29 2011

to see not only it but all the other works yet to filter in from the rest of the Aotearoa Feltsisters

movement at the station

2009-10-30T13:13:00.000-07:00

'earthwaulks' is developing momentum

with plans for the exhibition to show at Benheim and Tauranga

and one or two other locations

under the Long White Cloud

thoughts of Hong Kong as well

other plots are afoot for an exhibition entitled 'shift' across the ditch at Beautiful Silks in Melbourne, Australia; timed to coincide with the L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival in 2011

and

we welcome Tracy White to the sisterhood

Lost in Thoughts of Trees

2009-08-29T02:12:00.000-07:00

I have been wandering in forests and countryside, walking beside the lake and napping in trees thinking how I can transform the textures and shapes into felt.

wandering and working [with a view to waulking]

2009-06-03T03:57:00.000-07:00

wandering in Aotearoa making felt and finding colour in the landscape despite the chills of winter

drawing and taking photographs

and planning a land-influenced piece for 'earthwaulks'

and wondering how the other feltsisters are getting on...

fashioning felt

2009-04-05T18:00:00.000-07:00

dear feltsisters...

here's a nice place to visit for lots of pictures of interesting new feltwork...

an exhibition called "fashioning felt" at the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum on the corner of 91st Street and Fifth Avenue, New York

earthworks/walks/waulks

2009-01-26T01:17:00.000-08:00

while the email elves are busily rushing messages back and forth between the Aotearoa Feltsisters in regard to the possible title of the proposed group exhibition for 2010 i thought i'd liven things a bit by posting a wee anonymous slice of hill for contemplation.

and here for further pondering an exquisite line from one of Janet Frame's poems

"The stain of words will soak through the thickest gloves" [pp180, Janet Frame - The Goosebath Poems, 2008]

it's good that we're giving it [the name of the exhibition] such serious thought. after all - while the word [or words] we choose are intended to catch the attention of a possible audience the greater importance of the moniker is that it essentially provides the glue that binds the show...and creates the foundation for the relationship between our different works

drawing the curtain on 'window on white'

2008-11-20T05:13:00.000-08:00

both showings of this exhibition have now concluded, and the objects all returned to their respective homes....and now the future is being plotted.

we seem all agreed on the idea of showing again as a group in 2010, and so [with that in mind] it seems time to change the header to something a little more inclusive [i.e. more than just white] but reflecting the fact that we [the group] are sisters in felt, and though even though two of us come from other countries the Land of the Long White Cloud is our [creative] common ground and occasional meeting place.

so an interim change of header is going up...happy to adjust it if any of the feltsisters don't approve...

2008-08-31T15:45:00.000-07:00

i'm on the wrong machine at present (recent pix are on the other one) but if you click here it will take you to a couple of exhibition shots and a few madder (Rubia tinctoria) samples from the workshop....

Eco Dyeing with India

2008-08-25T17:25:00.000-07:00

We forgot to take a photo of us on the Opening Night of
"Window on White" so here we are the next day at the dyeing workshop standing outside the woolshed.
We are not looking quite as pretty as we did last night so it is a damn shame we forgot!

You can see our little wrapped samples brewing away.
Opening them up was the best part as it was always a surprise to see what we got.

In the gallery at last

"Winter Windows" by Lyn Duncan

I was lucky to be able to first see the exhibition on my own with no one else in the gallery.
It really felt like the memory of my silent, snow covered dawn.
The light was beautiful and reflected of the white in a way to make you go back and look again and again. Each time you looked you saw a different texture, a beautiful patch of lace, silk, threads, leaves, beads, buttons and yarns.

Still arising - from the snow

2008-07-23T00:34:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone,

at last I have arrived on the window.

Great to see all the work here and with India's permission the original dress which like the work has metamorphed along the way..will be appearing.

This work of a twin set..titled 'Time flies and translations.'

The e-invite catalogue and publicity is being melded by as I write - and will be e-winging its way to you soon.

and the snow keeps falling...

Nice one Jill.
It is nearly time to send our entries away.
Excitment mounting.

First Pics

2008-05-11T22:56:00.000-07:00

These are the first of the seven figures that will be my piece for our Exhibition.
The taller figure is about 70cm high and the smaller one about 36cm.
My inspiration comes from a childhood memory of my Dad waking my sister and me and telling us to look out the window. We were quite small and clad in our flannel pjs we pressed our little faces to the window to peer out into the silent dim light of a snow covered dawn.
I can still see and feel the magic of that moment.
We were dressed in woollen coats (no nylon parkas back then) hand knitted mittens, hats, scarves and gumboots and off outside to embrace the virgen white.

just by way of contrast

2008-03-31T14:14:00.001-07:00

i rewarded myself this week (well, someone's got to!) by acquiring a luscious new book 'On Fashion' by Christian Lacroix. it's a mix of his own work sumptuously illustrated, counterbalanced by treasures selected from the costume collections of the Musée des Arts Decoratifs.

a sentence caught my eye...'all that white makes me do is want to create blots with my pen or fabric'....

at least 19 words for snow

2008-03-09T23:57:00.000-07:00

In 1997 Ken Muldrew of the University of Calgary published a list of snow-and-ice words, I've taken the liberty of pasting some of them here...

ablation - the process of being removed. Snow ablation usually refers to removal by melting
accretion - growth of precipitation particles by collision of ice crystals with supercooled liquid droplets which freeze on impact
anchor ice - Submerged ice attached or anchored to the river bed, irrespective of the nature of its formation.
avalanche - large amount of snow that falls down a slope due to gravity
blizzard - winds of at least 35 miles per hour along with considerable falling and/or blowing snow reducing visibility to less than one-quarter mile for a period of at least three hours.
blowing snow - windriven snow
boilerplate - skiing term for ice that forms from liquid water (as opposed to compressed snow)
bottom ice - ice that is anchored to the bottom of a body of water and cannot float
border ice - ice formed along and fastened to the shore. Border ice does not extend the entire width across the river. Also called shore ice.
breakup jam - accumulation of broken ice pieces that restricts the flow of water; may contain frazil ice or remnants of freezeup jam.
candled ice - decayed sheet ice that takes the appearance of thin vertical crystals shaped like candles.
cellular ice - growing ice crystal that proceeds as a bunch of hexagonal prisms
corn snow - snow that has partly melted and refrozen and acts like ball-bearings
cornice - drift of snow that overhangs a precipice
closed cavity ice - a formation like depth hoar that forms from ground water in underground cavities
crushed ice - for cocktails (see notes below)
crust - hard cohesive layer overtop of softer snow
crystal - regular arrangement of water molecules with long-range order
cubic ice - ice with cubic symmetry
dendrite - hexagonal ice crystals with complex and often fernlike branches.
depth hoar - large (one to several millimeters in diameter), cohesionless, coarse, faceted snow crystals which result from the presence of strong temperature gradients within the snowpack
dry accretion - accretion through sublimation
dusting - very light snowfall, usually of ice crystals that form in the lower atmosphere
evaporative icing - ice that forms in an engine due to the cooling effect from evaporation of fuel
fast ice - sea ice that forms at the shore and remains fast
firn - glacial snow that has survived at least one season
flake ice - ice that is fractured parallel to the c-axis to create flakes
flurry - snowfall combined with wind
frazil - fine, small, needle-like structures or thin, flat, circular plates of ice suspended in water. In rivers and lakes it is formed in turbulent water as supercooled water is brought to the surface
freeze - the process of solidification of water
freezeup jam - accumulation of frazil that restricts the flow of water; may contain some broken border ice pieces.
frost - ice that sublimates onto a surface
frozen water - water in the crystalline solid state
glacier - snow that accumulates over many years with sufficient weight to form ice under the surface
glaze ice - rain that falls on supercooled objects and immediately turns to ice
graupel - snowflakes that become rounded pellets due to riming. Typical sizes are two to five millimeters in diameter (0.1 to 0.2 inches). Graupel is sometimes mistaken for hail.
grease ice - a later stage of freezing than frazil ice when the crystals have coagulated to form a soupy layer on the surface. Grease ice reflects little light, giving the surface a matt appearance
hail - frozen raindrops
hardpack - snow that has been packed to the point where it does not yield to body weight
hexagonal ice - ice with hexagonal symmetry
hoarfrost - frost that grows outward from its substrate (vapour to solid phase transition)
ice - crystalline water
ice I through ice IVX - different crystalline arrangements that form under various temperature-pressure situations
iceberg - part of a glacier that calves into the ocean and floats with the currents
ice cream - frozen mixture of water, sugar and fat that tastes delicious
ice cube - lump of ice used to chill a rye and coke (or a Bombay Sapphire and Tonic if your pen-name is Tumbleweed)
ice embryo - sub-critical cluster of water molecules
ice floe - pack ice that is moving with ocean currents
ice lens - lens-shaped ice buildup that forms in soils where water moves through pores to join the crystal (responsible for frost heave)
ice shelf - glacial ice that flows out over the sea and remains attached to the glacier
ice stalagmites - stalagmites of ice that form on top of ice cubes when the freezing proceeds inward from the edges
ice wedge - water that freezes in the crevices of a rock and cause mechanical stress through expansion
ice worms - worm-like bubbles in ice cubes caused by exclusion of gas at the interface
igloo - snow house made by cutting blocks from windslab snow and arranging them in a dome
lake ice - ice that forms on top of a lake
melted snow - water that was once snow
metamorphism - changes in the structure and texture of snow grains which results from variations in temperature, migration of liquid water and water vapor, and pressure within the snow cover
mushy zone - region in which ice and solution co-exist
nacelle icing - ice formation on aircraft
needle ice - ice that forms in moist soil, dessicating the surrounding soil (see pipkrake)
neve - glacial ice formed by enormous pressure compressing snow
pack ice - long lasting ice cover over ocean water
pancake ice - circular flat accumulations composed of frazil and slush ice with a raised rim; the shape and rim are due to repeated collisions
permafrost - soil frost that doesn't melt in the summer
pingo ice - huge ice lens that forms underneat a pond causing a hill to rise up to 50m high
pipe ice - ice formation inside an enclosed pipe often rupturing the pipe
pipkrake - needle-like spicules of ice that grow out of the groundwater from moist, loose soil when there is no freezing in the ground; needles are about 1mm in diameter and can be several centimeters tall.
piste - slope of snow suitable for skiing
plate ice - ice that forms on top of still water
powder - new fallen snow that hasn't sintered or metamorphosed
precipitation - the accumulated depth of rain or drizzle and also the melted water content of snow or other forms of frozen precipitation, including hail
polycrystal - a snowflake composed of many individual ice crystals
quinzy - snow cave built from a pile of soft snow that is allowed to set
red snow - blooms of chlamydomonas nivallus in glacial suncups during the summer
rime - a deposit of ice formed when supercooled water droplets freeze on contact with an object
river ice - ice that forms in a river
safety snow - artificial snow at a ski resort that is slower than natural snow (derogatory term)
sastrugi - skier's term for snow that has melted into breaking waves from the sun
sea ice - ice that forms in salt water
shear walls - ice left along shoreline when a freezeup or breakup jam fails and moves downstream
shorefast ice - sea ice that is anchored to the shoreline
sill ice - ice lenses that rupture the ground surface so that the ice is exposed
silver frost - frost that grows from the liquid phase (i.e. from dew) rather than gas phase
sintering - process of minimizing the surface area to volume ratio, similar to recrystallization
slab avalanche - avalanche that begins as a fracture in the surface slab
sleet - mixture of rain and hail
sluff avalanche - avalanche of powder snow much like a sandpile avalanche
slurpee - delicious mix of syrup and ice crystals; the crystals are kept small and round through continuous motion and a high sugar content (much improved by the addition of gin, see note above)
slush - wet snow
snowbank - pile of snow from shoveling or plowing
snowcave - cavern dug out of a snow drift
snow core - a sample of snow, either just the freshly fallen snow or the combined old and new snow on the ground, obtained by pushing a cylinder down through the snow layer and extracting it
snowburst - very intense showers of snow, often of short duration, that greatly restrict visibility and produce periods of rapid snow accumulation
snow depth - the combined total depth of both old and new snow on the ground
snowdrift - snow that collects in a ridge due to wind
snowfall - the depth of new snow that has accumulated since the previous day or since the previous observation
snowflake - a cluster of ice crystals that falls from a cloud
snow flurries - snow that falls for short durations and which often changes in intensity. Flurries usually produce little accumulation
snow fort - protective walls built from snow blocks

snow load - the downward force on an object or structure caused by the weight of accumulated snow
snowman - large balls of snow piled on top of one another to resemble a person
snowpack - the total snow and ice on the ground, including both new snow and the previous snow and ice which has not melted
snow pellets - larger than snow grains but smaller than graupel; formed the same way.
snow rollers - rolled up blankets of snow that accumulate when wet snow falls on icy crust followed by strong, gusty winds
snow squall - a brief, but intense fall of snow that greatly reduces visibility and which is often accompanied by strong winds
snowstorm - heavy snowfall, usually with wind
sublimation - the process in which ice changes directly to water vapor without melting, but also in meteorology the opposite process in which water vapor is transformed to ice (also called deposition)
suncups - depressions in the snow caused by sun melting
supercooled - the condition when a liquid remains in the liquid state even through its temperature is below its freezing point
supersaturation - the condition which occurs in the atmosphere when the relative humidity is greater than 100 percent
surface hoar - the deposition (sublimation) of ice crystals on a surface which occurs when the temperature of the surface is colder than the air above and colder than the frost point of that air
throttle icing - ice that forms in an engine due to the cooling effect of expansion in the carburetor
Tyndall figures - shapes with hexagonal symmetry formed inside an ice crystal due to melting
vein ice - ice in soil that encapsulates solid particles

Beginnings......

2008-02-10T14:05:00.000-08:00

Progressing on my work so here is a small snippet of it.

Seeing it digitally is a great viewing technique and I am pleased with my direction.

further frivolities

2008-02-08T12:29:00.000-08:00

forgive me if this post tries to teach some of you how to suck eggs....but part of the entertainment of blogging (especially when one is spending down time in yet another airport lounge) is seeing who else shares your interests - and thus being able to read their stories too.

here's the fun bit...by editing your own profile (the box that says 'state your interests') and saving that, you can then - by clicking on various interests when 'viewing your complete profile' find a heap of other bloggers all interested in that subject (and more besides)

you'll notice that Tumbleweed has gone a bit obsessive put in lots of subjects. certainly makes for interesting 'virtual wandering' when stuck at airport/reached creative block/too hot to go weeding/no newspaper to accompany cup of tea

and yes, I do have lots of books to read instead....

on the subject of felt...yesterday delivered a hat in the form of a sheep's head (an English Leicester of course) to Leigh Warren...part of the cozzie worn by a dancer (behind a two-way mirror) in a scene to the tune of 'In the wee small hours of the morning'. ...and then got home after the three hour return trip and realised i hadn't even taken a photo. clearly too much excitement that it actually worked had gotten the better of me.

Team Name?????

2008-02-07T18:26:00.000-08:00

Does this team of lovely women need a name?

2008-02-07T15:33:00.000-08:00

Hi everybody,
I owe you all a huge thankyou for all your emails and work towards the exhibition. I have been receiving all the emails and trying to desperately get felting again but up until yesterday my joints have let me down ..... but managed a bit of felting at our local felting day yesterday so its all go to get started on my project for the exhibition - even if it is in small sessions.
This is to prove that if I can post a blog and learn about blogs ... anybody can ... its not hard at all and what a grat idea - thanks India.
Also love your link Jill.
Happy New Year to you all
Cheers Francey

ain't this fun

2008-01-30T06:38:00.000-08:00

well, it seemed to me that this would be an easy way of sharing work...and a much faster reference than rummaging through old emails for stuff...with the added bonus that we'll have a virtual exhibition in cyberspace as well as the real thing (which is of course much more fun)

cheerio

A challenge!

2008-01-29T15:15:00.000-08:00

Well I think I now know how to blogg!
I thought it was felting we were supposed to be doing.
I think the form for window on white is done, will send it to you all when Janet has replied.
I am aiming to make a big vessel. for the exhibition, but might change
Cheers Christine

Getting Started

2008-01-29T13:55:00.000-08:00

As yet 'Ice Maiden' is still in my head, but her prototype 'Scarlet Woman' is taking shape slowly!
Thought a trial run would be a good idea.

Making the Big Start

2008-01-28T01:03:00.000-08:00

Ever since we decided to go ahead with our exhibition my mind has been wondering around various ideas. I am the sort of person to keep it mostly to myself until I am well on the way as I often change my mind.

I find it very hard to do all the planning first even though I have been well taught about getting the "concept" right before starting. I just like to jump in and get going but often this gets me into trouble so this time I have been determined to not begin until it is all sorted out, drawn up and I really know what I am doing! (that's all well and good but when WILL you make a start.....I hear my little inner voice saying)

Does anyone else have this problem? Am I the only one not to have made the big start?
