glacier | Blanket Raffle!

Was doing a ton of stuff and got distracted!
Anyways this was available for early viewing by kofi members:

A blanket with an orange border and multicolored middle.
There is a pink stockinette section. It also includes color shifting from orange, dark yellow, dark pink, light pink and blue moss section. A pink reverse stockinette section, a yellow garter stitch eyelet section, and a pink stockinette section. After that it repeats from the moss section to the last stockinette section again.

Same blanket as the first photo, but this time with it on me, a Latina woman with brown hair and eyes and glasses, and my dog a pitbull mix.

Same blanket as the first photo put over my dog, a pitbull mix.

Same blanket as the first photo, but scrunched up on the couch.

Came across this feature from @booooooom! and was astonished to see that it’s from 15 years ago, featuring work from the first 10 years of my art career.

I’ve done so much work but I have so many projects still living in my head!

Attempting to sew during this dark side of the year is tough, the light is only really good for a few hours and then it becomes harder to see 🧐 hence my scowl of concentration as I add some contrasting strands to this wig.

Uniquely Phyllis - ever since I can remember my mother worked wonders with textiles. Crocheting, sewing, needlework, quilting. Her hands create amazing things. I watch her even now and amazed at how slender, beautiful, and agile her hands are. #stillgoingstrong #ninetytwo #textileartist #crocheting

I'm in Oatlands in Tasmania as artist in residence at AiRSpace Oatlands until the end of November. I open the gallery/studio most afternoons. Do pop in if passing or local.

A photo of a Georgian sandstone cottage with a shingle roof. The sky is blue with a few clouds. The cottage has signs in the window showing that it is an artist in residence space.

A photo of the inside of the artist in residence space looking out through the front door and windows.

A photo of a textile artwork hanging against a gallery wall. The wall is blue with a mottled patina. The artwork is a crazy quilted banner in shades of brown through to white. Made by Deidre Robb.

More observations in autumnal light and the reason I've not been posting much these days but my plan is to finish up this collection by the end of the month. Probably doesn't help I keep starting new pieces!
