Owain Glyndŵr
I often wonder what's in a name. As a kid, I asked my mum why I was called Owen, she said she wanted a Welsh name like her father.
I embraced it after learning about Owain Glyndŵr, being named after a Welsh hero is cool.
Hwyl rŵan 👋😉

Today's Triangle No.19 🤠👍
"Turkish Delight."
There's a big old story that goes along with this & not enough space to post it here on Bluesky.
The short version is this is a piece based on some woven fabric I bought in Istambul 35 years ago.

I seem to have gone quite tribal with this one. Unfortunately, the central multi-coloured metallic piece doesn't show up that well in this photo.

"Canonaich" (Buchanan)
I don't know why but I rarely lean into my Scottish heritage. I have it on both sides of my family. One side rooted in Glasgow & the other further north to the shores of Loch Lomond & the Canonaich or Clan of Buchanan.

I can't write much here with the word count. I got invited to give a presentation of my work at a local college this week. A chance to chat with a lovely group of budding textile artists & a chance to wear my "shabby chic" coat or as my kids call it, my "tramp" coat! 🤣
