Catskill Kiwi Textiles Art
This is an artist that I have only recently found but since finding her, i have to say I LOVE her work. I love the look of the wall hangings as they as rugged, but still beautiful pieces of work.
They are all handwoven by the creator of Catskill Kiwi called Toni, she tries to use as much locally sourced yarns etc as she can, and as you can see all the pieces she makes are a one of and each one is different.
With her woven pieces she uses a lot of locally sourced yarns and wools etc so she know where all her yarn come from. She is always on the look out for unusual fibres, interesting colours and anything that will make her work stand out. She generally makes a piece around what materials she can find, not just limited to wool, she also uses a range of string/jute/twine/rope. As you can also see from her work she is a huge fan of anything chunky, in her words 'the bigger the better'
I can relate to this a lot as in my eyes the bigger the better as you can see from my other blog post about making my own yarn.
