social nesting

One of the joys of recently embracing Instagram is the same magical click-through exploration process we experience with Pinterest… see an image and then click-click-click on comments or followers and you are somewhere else entirely without quite knowing how you got there.
This is how I first spotted the work of Maryanne Moodie.

Adorable Aussie Maryanne is a weaver the way Dior was a dressmaker and Martha is a hostess. She transcends the basics of her chosen medium and brings it to gasp-worthy heights. And I am being subtle.
For who else has recognised this long-standing and respectable oeuvre as the next hot thing in interiors and thusly turned it into a creative business producing stunning wall hangings?

There is a thoughtfulness to every strand. And while there is something of the 70s rumpus room to the work, it is more homage than pastiche. Colours are modern and fresh, textures are bold and organic and overall choices are genius. Genius.

Chuck onto her woven empire an etsy shop where she sells weaving starter kits and places at her (better-be-fast-’cause-they-all-sell-out) classes and you’ve got someone who isn’t just making but bettering our walls through art and inspiration.

Rock on Maryanne Moodie. Even just your name, much like your work, puts smiles on our faces.
