I have been busy today, I received pieces of 'old' kimonos in a mixture of fabrics, silk,synthetic and cotton. which I will need for a workshop at the April Fibre Forum in Orange called Take One Kimono. Ann Darling from the US will be our tutor. The fabric I have been sorting out into different piles, hoping they will somehow inspire my creativity. I also have to take a kimono or haori (happy coat), I am looking forward to it and thought I should get started on the materials as the list is pretty long.

This blog is for like minded people old or young who feel as I do that age is no barrier to how you live your life, especially if you have a love of art and in particular textiles.

Hi Ola, Please show some photos of your work, 'old' kimonos and materials they are so interesting. I have made a kimono style jacket in nunofelt using merino, silk and flax on a silk chiffon backing. Will put a photo on my picture trail soon - oh for more hours in the day!! Love your web site, can you put a link on your blog so people can go and see your wonderful work? Jenny.
