green + gold

A little weaving for a friend...


And if you venture into any green spaces around Sydney at the moment,
you will see - and smell - the colours of green and gold.

After all the rain, everything is lush and green.
And at this time of year the golden colours of Wattle come out to say hello - making us all smile with nostalgic memories of school playgrounds where Wattle was distinctly grown.

So when it came to making a gift for a friend, who has now relocated with her young family to Dubai, I naturally started to weave with these two colours.
Especially since we met in the primary school playground way back in the early 80s as tiny five years olds!

Wattle.
Cant get more Australian than that!

The workshop table filled with green + gold...
on a cold and grey day in June.
