Sold

We had the opening of the tutors exhibition last evening and I sold my crocheted wire and wool vessel - yay! Encouragement to make some more. Back to work!

"What We Do"

I work part-time at a community Arts work space and this week all my work colleagues and I are exhibiting our own work at Aratoi Museum of Art and History in Masterton. The opening is on friday 9th July at 5.30pm and you're all welcome.

The shop is going well and I have had visitors from Christchurch and Auckland this week. I have made some lovely neck warmers from a wool/bamboo blend in muted blues and greys.

Also am in the process of finishing some more felted bags for the shop, will post some pictures when they are ready.

Freshly Baked Brooches

Working with the much loved peggy or granny square, depending on which side you butter your toast, I created a few new brooches to adorn winter coats, hats or bags. A two dimensional aspect was reached with the addition of, also much loved, buttons. All one offs and available from my backyard headquarters.

Studio Shelf Dweller

Just finished a bunch of flower brooches all made with woollen fabric or old blankets.

Great for going on a winter coat!

Making a Shed a Shop

Yesterday was by first day of business and although I had no sales I did have some visitors. Today the weather is not suited to being out and about unless you are a duck or very keen.

When the rain did ease up a wee while ago I had a visit from a friend who I was printing some Carterton cushions for. They turned out well and are going to going into her new gallery in Carterton called Red Moa. It will be opening soon and will be fabulous!

It was fun yesterday setting up the shop as being inside is a bit of a novelty after years of doing outside markets and having to contend with all sorts of weather. So calm reigns supreme in my small but perfectly formed retail outlet.

Open Tomorrow

The ramari textiles shop will open tomorrow at 10.30 until 4pm. You'll find me a t80 Park Road, Carterton. Also open on Carterton tomorrow is agnescoy.co.nz and harmanandharman.net.nz

All filled with beautiful creations our businesses have become a trio called Made In Carterton and actively promote each other and our wonderful community.

Call in and say hello.
