I'm so happy that Spring has arrived........it feels as though I am coming awake after the long, dark winter.  Today I took the photos of the beautiful flowers near to my home...don't they just make your spirits sing!!  Lots and lots of fresh green everywhere - so I had to include some fresh green fibre.  The green weaving is on the front of my e-book ;   Fibrefrenzi Artweave - available on Amazon books (which I am about to publish in paperback).....sales have been good - so I am super excited!  I have almost finished weaving the main body of another coat - which means I shall shortly be starting another scarf.  I have been weaving non-stop for two and half years now, and love it just as much as when I started.  I think I need to work on my art journal....I have been rather sluggish during the winter months.  I need the sunshine and warmth to inspire my creative juices....so....I must get going.  Although I am always looking for new inspiration, time and time again I come back to flowers.....however next week I'm off to Paris and in May I go to Venice - maybe some good inspiration in the pipeline! Have a good week!

Well....after a rather long break, I'm back.  I had some technical difficulties - but have finally got my act together, and worked them out. I go in to mild panic mode when anything remotely technological goes awol!  I seem to have spent a lot of time updating my Facebook page - but I am now back to blogging as well.  A lot has happened  recently - I have been selling scarves and coats (latest two pictured here) and I have just published an e-book on Amazon - its called  Fibrefrenzi Artweave.  I have so enjoyed writing it - I am now pursuing publishing a paperback edition.  I think I must be getting the writing bug because I am already thinking about my next book!  I continue to be obsessed with the whole process of producing art-to-wear garments from the sheeps fleece  I am so lucky to have such an absorbing interest ......I never seem to tire of it and of course the colour always inspires me and makes my heart sing!  Don't forget to take a look at my website:  www.fibrefrenzi.weebly.com and you can find me, Alison Crosthwaite on Facebook.  Have a good week!
