I am loving my current project of creating work from materials from my garden... this time: strawberry runners; kniphofia; corn husks dyed with onion skins, harakeke seeds and pods, and kamahi ( Weinmannia racemosa) wood chips.

A little twined vessel with kuta - my first fibre

A little twined vessel with kuta - my first fibre creation in the twelve days I have been living on our boat "Hangarua" in Marlborough Sounds. I brought lots of dried fibre with me (without my husband seeing!) but have been too busy boating, fishing, walking, reading, ... .Thought I should at least create something before we return home. This is the first time I have twined with kuta Eleocharis sphacelata.

Tangaroa's Tapestry" - woven seaweed and harakeke

Tangaroa's Tapestry" - woven seaweed and harakeke on supplejack frame - 160cm x 100cm h. Driftwood & Sand Beach Sculpture Event - winner, most natural.

I love the colours and textures of this tapestry which is ever changing depending on time of day, lighting and moisture level and will continue to change over time. It is also an interactive work as people take up the invitation to spray it with water to reveal more colour and vibrancy

Looking back on the previous entries while preparing for this year's Driftwood and Sand beach sculpture event on Hokitika beach. Enjoy!

The eel was a collaboration with event founder, Donald Buglass, for the signature sculpture. He had the idea and did the head and the framework and I wove the body. The rest of the sculptures are all my creations.
