Although there are so many different techniques and colours that can be used in weaving, I choose to use simple structures in order to explore the variations possible within a particular space and no more than two colours on a piece. Felting technique gives a formation to the woven piece just like a child become an adult. The combination of these techniques and elements gives my scarf a “less is more” contemporary look. Using soft lambswool, I try to combine the practical with the aesthetic to create wearable art.
