friends of mapuru

friends of mapuru:
I am a friend of Mapuru and am helping to raise funds for a Cultural exchange trip to Melbourne, Australia from Mapuru, Northern Territory, so the women from Mapuru can run a weaving workshop in Melbourne.

It is a long way to travel and while the trip is partially funded, we need help to cover the travel expenses of the adult women. please visit the website and consider making a donation.

every bit helps!

I started weaving this pandanus coil basket in Katherine.

This afternoon I sat weaving under the jacaranda tree and rambling rose bush in my front yard.

I have added the pandanus I bought at Mapuru to my Katherine sourced pandanus. I like that the two are combined now in the new basket.

more photos to come as the basket progresses. I’m not sure yet what the shape or size will be.

shibori lover turned 2 today!

a big thank you to all my followers; those who are new, those who have been with me since the beginning and everyone in between.

I travelled interstate over all of August to the Northern Territory, Australia. Posts have been sporadic over this time (due to limited internet access) and it’s taken a few weeks to get back into city life now I’m back in Melbourne.

I’ll be continuing to share my love of shibori and textiles, along with more posts about indigenous textiles from Australia.

enjoy, and thanks again for following :-)

I’ve been traveling in the Northern Territory for the past couple of weeks.

Even managed to fit in some shibori dyeing!

I have limited Internet access so my posts are limited too; while up in the NT, Australia.

I’m off to Arnhem Land for two weeks with extremely limited Internet so will post again when I am back.

I’m on holidays for a month (all of August) in the Northern Territory.

I’m heading to Katherine in an hour or so for Barthula Webs; an artists weekend. There will be art and indigenous craft workshops - including a shibori workshop, using natural local dyes from the bush.

More photos and posts to come as my travels continue.

Aussie Autumn

Thanks to CandykinsCrafts for including my textile art in their Aussie Autumn treasury. 

Just Because!

A big thank you to Julia from Julia Heart Felt on Etsy for including me in her treasury collection "Just Because!"

Julia's treasury collection made it to the front page of Etsy, which was a lovely surprise.

I had a lot more visitors than usual to my etsy shop, Tania Bishop Artisan, as result which is wonderful!
