I have returned after an inspirational residency at Linkshouse, Orkney. I shared with other artists and followed in the footsteps of others who used this context for their own work. Living in Birsay for just 2 weeks I could not but be aware of the rocks around me. The landscape of Orkney is filled with rock and stone. Rock forms the landscape and the cliffs and coastline, it is quarried out and used in buildings and walls, prized pieces are unearthed by archeologists. Much of it carries markings of the past.

A starter for the stones of Orkney. Earls Palace, just up the road from Linkshouse. So many starting points all within a few metres of this magical place. Following the footsteps of some inspirational people. So good to be here. @suffolkcraftsociety @societyofdesignercraftsmen_sdc @theweaveshed@thepierartscentre @scottishgallery

Sampling from a warp of autumn glory before setting off for Orkney in the early spring. That will be a contrast! @suffolkcraftsociety @societyofdesignercraftsmen_sdc @orkney @theweavesheduk

Feeling very fortunate to have been accepted for a residency at Linkshouse, Orkney, a joint venture with the Pier Arts Centre. The inspiring work of Victoria Crowe that emerged from her time in this same place was one driving force in my application. Now I try to forge a path so that I can make the very best of this opportunity. As a start I am gathering and using material from past visits to Orkney (and time at the Pier and at the Loft Gallery). Just so much! @pierartscentre @suffolkcraftsociety @societyofdesignercraftsmen_sdc @victoriacrowe__ @workshopandloftgallery

A third and last one from the silk warp that came from reflections in the harbour at Stromness. This time with some merino wool to help keep warm on cooler days and evenings. Now at the wonderful Bircham Gallery just in time for that last minute Christmas shopping! #birchamgallery14 #suffolkcraftsociety #societyofdesignercraftsmen_sdc #theweaveshed

Silks for rich mix of colours in a stole for a winter city evening perhaps.
I love how the colours mix and marry, and one of my favourite weave structures as well. Hints of satin.
