Today I have been working on these Valentine string hearts. We all went and sat outside with our chickens on the cool grass, craft materials in tow, our tea and a sliced mango to eat, the boys rode their bikes, the girls and I sat and spoke about many different things… I feel very fortunate that we can enjoy our outside time in the warm South African sunshine and that autumn is still a little while away, this definately helps the creativity to flow…
I wanted to create something quite colourful, I love rainbows, so I decided on this rainbow string Valentine heart.
Fold a piece of metal into a heart shape.
I used my yarn that I dyed at a recent dyeing workshop, I really appreciate the vibrance of the colours…
First I tied on the lighter rainbow yarn to form a warp of sorts…
The warp…
I then tied on the bright rainbow yarn and started weaving in and out of the lighter yarn…
Until I had woven this…
Tomorrow we will all make more hearts with different variations…
Happy Tuesday:) xo
