FRIENDS OF THE HOUSE · Knitting the Ocean - “It’s so hard to explain because on land…there’s nothing that is like it. Because you feel weightless… you can’t hear anything besides your own breathing,” says Erik Speer when describing scuba diving. “So many senses are taken away from you, but then you are just inundated with...new experiences and visions.”

After a few years of having this project on my 'to teach' list, I finally got around to trying paper plate weaving with my Grade 4-6 mixed class. I saw the original idea HERE on the amazing website of Cassie Stephens. I followed her direction exactly and the weavings turned out really well. I HIGHLY recommend only using Chinet brand plates as Cassie states. I tried it with a thinner paper plate and it did not hold up well. So stick with Chinet or the sturdiest brand you can find. Students started off by painting their plates using tempera. They could use any colours/patterns they wanted to. They had a lot of fun with this step and thought it was pretty cool painting on plates. They didn't fit in my drying rack so we left them on the floor to dry overnight. I collected yarn like a madwoman from garage sales and thrift stores. Then a colleague, who I was sharing yarn with, colour coded all the yarn into different plastic bags- sweet! I laid all these out onto a couple of tables so my kids could see the variety of colours and textures available. Following the directions on Cassie's blog, students wrapped their warp (I demonstrated two times, then we did it together) and then they started weaving using the same warp string. My kids have done paper weaving before and most caught on pretty quickly. Once they have had enough of one colour, they tie on a new colour and keep weaving. The kids LOVED this project and they all turned out really nice :)

I have been sewing and crafting since I was little because my mother used to do it all the time. I learned from her, the power of creating things with my hands, and constructing something beautiful.
Make inspiring and charming, bendable words with paper-covered craft wire and colorful yarn.
Embroidery is an art that cultivates a special sensibility that comes from using the hands to create something captivating. It can be considered a rhythmic composition assembled stitch after stitch.
I have been admiring stick weaves for a while now and I finally decided to try it out. This is also really great for those who want to get into weaving, but don't own a loom just yet. It's a perfect free loom to play around on. I really like the rough texture of the
I finished it yesterday- close up of 'grasses by the canal' 11cm x 31cm. Paint and dye on calico. Hand stitched. 3 layers of fabric. Whole thing- but long and thin so difficult for photos. I tried to capture the bright light of summer and dappled shadows - something to work on ( next time, next time) I am pleased with it but always there is knowledge that it could be better and that is the drive that keeps me working! Hot summer days here- no rain for the garden. Meals eaten outside on the new patio under the parasol. Summer clothes.We are not used to this!
