INSPIRED TO BE MOODIE

I am sure I am not alone in owning a box full of random yarn as such…

yarn box

Bursting with bin ends of beautiful colours and scraps from my knitting phase, I keep the box around for when the need to finger-knit strikes or I need to darn a jumper (yes, I do that).

But inspired by my recent obsession with Maryanne Moodie, I thought I would give weaving a wall-hanging a try.

DIY Loom

But what of a loom, you ask? I could not in good faith buy yet another piece of equipment only to use it once or twice, so my improvisation came in the form of our clothes drying rack.

Loom with weaving

I played around with loads of different techniques – weaving at different intervals and using a comb to tighten the weave.

Weaving almost finished

until I came up with this.

I threaded it onto a wood dowel, edged and tied it off with loose yarn and while Maryanne Moodie has no reason to loose sleep over the potential competition, I am super proud of my little experiment.

Weaving Final

And it will not end here. just sayin’.

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.

Maryanne Moodie weavings

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.
