<![endif]-->Here we are at the end of June, already
halfway through 2021. Life seems to be still on hold and
while I write this almost half of Australia is in lockdown due to Covid19. It
has been a strange time. My state of Victoria has been through four lockdowns
since the outbreak here in Australia in 2020. In May last year I was to fly to
London, a trip planned the year before to visit the UK and Ireland. My Great
Grandparents on my Mother’s side immigrated from Edinburgh Scotland and
Limerick in Ireland in 1854. They met in Australia and originally lived in
Emerald Hill, where my Grandmother was born. Very close to the Australian
Tapestry Workshop. Even though I am a third generation Australian, my DNA on
all sides of my family is deeply rooted in England, Ireland and Scotland.
Unlike many who migrated to Australia after the Second World War, I have no
connection or knowledge of family left behind, or any real cultural connections.
I was to stay in Galway Ireland during an International Tapestry Symposium, so
I am disappointed that I did not get the opportunity to meet up with the artists
in person. Rather than over the unreality of the internet. It does seem strange to look back
over the past year and count on a few fingers the amount of times that I have
visited a gallery. I have no real reason to complain as my Shire has only had
around 5 cases on the virus. But in a way I think that we are all suffering a
slight bit of lockdown fatigue. The photo is of a linen apron embroidered with
shamrocks and a brooch with shamrocks. The only things that I have, that
belonged to my Irish Great Grandmother. What did I do in the past year? My physiotherapy
after I broke my hand was to teach myself to knit two handed Fair Isle. Eight
Jumpers a few hats, cowls and shawls kept me busy!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLw-Ai43RnSXSslkydGz3TLNNdWj9qP_h3GH14bI4ZgZTfGSF09CNRtJpKB6XYzpZbKs6gm19N4c5AuVL3gIKaup9zh1-9vFB70Zew4W9JvgqBv9tpJxzX8gUap-PR5uNaZbxzGhAewsNF/s700/blog+2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="649" data-original-width="700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLw-Ai43RnSXSslkydGz3TLNNdWj9qP_h3GH14bI4ZgZTfGSF09CNRtJpKB6XYzpZbKs6gm19N4c5AuVL3gIKaup9zh1-9vFB70Zew4W9JvgqBv9tpJxzX8gUap-PR5uNaZbxzGhAewsNF/s16000/blog+2.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Wherever you are in these strange

Vicki Aspenberg "The Seasons March On' 7" X 5" tapestry postcard. <br />
<br />
Tapestry weaving is what I would describe as a 'solitary process' distractions are unwelcome and often of great annoyance to the weaver. Well to this one they are. Building an image from the bottom to the top requires concentration, tenacity, often mixed with feelings of frustration and self doubt.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://americantapestryalliance.org/" target="_blank">The American Tapestry Alliance</a> organized a postcard exchange during this year based around the theme ' Here and (T)Here' A random draw of participants was held and each were notified as to who their partner in the exchange was to be.<br />
The exchange began with emails between partners, often getting to know a complete stranger and the parts of their lives that they chose to share.<br />
<br />
It has been very interesting, getting to know someone who lives on the other side of the world and exchange life stories and a part of our year with each other. It has been wonderful to talk about our backgrounds in tapestry weaving and the sometimes frustrating elements of the medium that we all seem to share. Vicki and I posted our tapestries on the same day and surprisingly we both received them the same day.<br />
It has been a joy, and if you ever get the opportunity to participate in an exchange you will find it a rewarding experience. <br />
<br />
The exhibition of the postcard tapestries has been uploaded today and you can view them all <a href="https://americantapestryalliance.org/tapestry-education/educational-articles-on-tapestry-weaving/here-and-there/?fbclid=IwAR0nMuEDKoUn0QZ6hTovjRKbpyyIrqHqYUv8CbghGWhh-32Imb0RtR4ycDk" target="_blank">here</a>. <br />

Have you ever had a favorite piece of knitwear, one that makes you feel warm and cozy and never want to take off?<br />
I bought this jumper at my local St Vinnies charity shop for $2.00. I was surprised at the time that someone would pass on such a new jumper knitted in the most beautiful soft wool.<br />
I had worn it so often that I became concerned that if I wore it out, I would not have another one to replace it.<br />
For years I searched my local charity shops for knitting patterns, hoping that I could find the pattern that this jumper was knitted from.<br />
Three years ago while looking through a large donations of new pattern books, there is was!<br />

The jumper is called 'Yellow Cables' and to my surprise it is a jumper for a child. I counted the stitches on the band and made a sample of the cable. Yes it is my jumper.<br />

I decided that each year I would knit a new jumper from the pattern. This one is knitted in Patons Totem, colour Raspberry.<br />

This one was finished just in time to wear at Easter last year. Knitted in<a href="https://www.bendigowoollenmills.com.au/" target="_blank"> Bendigo Woolen Mills </a>Dark Plum.<br />
May last year I had my son's German Shepherd on a lead, but the lead wrapped around my hand and ring finger. The dog bolted as she heard strangers in her house, needless to say I came off second best. Broken bones and failed plastic surgery left me wearing a splint for three months. I could not drive my car, or even eat with a knife and fork. Knitting was out of the question. Even without the splint I had no ability to grip anything.<br />
Life has improved and I was to have my hand re broken in June, but I have cancelled the surgery.<br />
I have no wish to re live last Winter. <br />

After six months of intense physio, I discovered that I could knit if I used a circular knitting needle, as you don't have to grip all the knitting.<br />
I worked on this jumper over the terrible heat wave that we had this summer past.With great enthusiasm after competing miles of knitting I somehow began sewing the sleeve to the jumper right side to wrong side. Unpicking back stitch can be challenging and instead of cutting the sewing, I managed to cut a hole in my knitting. In the front of course! I searched YouTube for a solution and found <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXD3TdbpDbM&t=556s" target="_blank">this </a>tutorial that is the best I have found for repairing holes in knitting. <br />

The repair is difficult to find even if you know it is there, So I am happy to have this one to wear this winter. Knitted in<a href="https://www.bendigowoollenmills.com.au/" target="_blank"> Bendigo Woolen Mills</a> Cherry Red.<br />
<br />
As for my original cream jumper, it is showing signs of wear and tear. Long jumpers often wear out on the bottom band from the abrasion of sitting on them. Last year I could not wear any of my new jumpers as the splint on my hand has several bands of Velcro fastenings that caught on everything. I do confess that I did wear my cream jumper which has now been mended and washed ready for anther winter. Next year will be the year to knit a new cream one to replace it.<br />
<br />
Whoever the knitter of the original jumper is, or the person who donated the pattern, I will never know. But I am grateful that they chose to recycle at the charity shops, rather than sending unwanted goods to landfill.</div>

Mirka Mora PAS DE DEUX—DRAWINGS AND DOLLS is an exhibition currently on display at
<a href="https://www.heide.com.au/exhibitions/mirka-mora-pas-de-deux%E2%80%94drawings-and-dolls" target="_blank">Heide Museum of Modern Art.</a> Originally
the exhibition was to celebrate Melbourne artist <a href="http://www.moragalleries.com.au/mirka.html" target="_blank">Mirka Mora’s</a> ninetieth
birthday. Sadly Mirka passed away on 27th August 2018, two months prior to the
exhibition opening. Mirka has been one of Melbourne’s best loved artists. Mirka immigrated
to Australia from France with her husband Georges in the early 1950. The couple
had several successful restaurants. Tolarno, famous for the murals painted by
Mirka that cover almost every inch of the walls. There are many public works around Melbourne
including a large mosaic at Flinders Street Station. Looking through the many photos I took I have decided to divide
them into groups.<br />
Sketch books. Like other artists I treasure the opportunity to look through artists sketch books. There were many on display, sadly in glass cabinets so photographing them was difficult. I won't talk about each of the works, I feel that the images are just to be enjoyed.</div>

Mirka first began drawing seriously in the mid
1950’s encouraged by other artist friends. Drawings over her long life Mirka
filled hundreds of sketch books. Although the artist also drew many colourfull
works it is the charcoal drawings that I love the most. </div>

Kate Derum 'In the Heat of the Moment' 1998<br />
After years of planning and closure of the gallery for extensions and complete renovations, Ararat Gallery TAMA reopens to the public today. Ararat Gallery holds the largest collection of textiles in a regional gallery in Australia. Unlike other galleries who also include textiles in their collections, Ararat have for many years have only collected textile based works. The gallery now has a sub collection TAMA, Textile Art Museum Australia. With the expansion of gallery space there is now a dedicated area to showcase the collection. As the current exhibition <a href="https://www.ararat.vic.gov.au/news/ararat-gallery-tama-presents-kylie-stage" target="_blank">'Kylie on Stage'</a> is so expansive in size we will have to wait to be able to see items from the collection showcased in their glory.<br />
Earlier this year Horsham Regional Art Gallery presented and exhibition ' <b>Enmeshed:</b> Woven artworks from the Ararat Regional Art Gallery Collection'<br />

Tapestry artists have long used photography as a way of
capturing images. Often collected to be used as a resource for further
development into design ideas for tapestries. Twenty years ago as a visual arts student with a one year
old child, I developed a habit of setting up still lifes around my home. I used
the viewfinder on my camera to try out many different compositions, looking
from different angles and perspectives, using 35mm film. Films were sent away
for processing, photos were then pasted into my journals, along with notes and
sketches. Some images became drawings, paintings and linocuts, some eventually
became tapestry designs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

With the introduction of digital cameras, photography became
a quick and easy way to record images. Most homes owned a personal computer and <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>programs such as Photoshop became <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>popular editing tools. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>In 2008 a group challenge was announced for
an exhibition titled 'Tapestry Blues'. I remembered a digital photo that I had
taken of chillies picked from my garden and set on the same blue plate I had
used in the previous tapestry. </div>

The format was to be no larger than 20cm X 20cm. I cropped
the photo to size in Photoshop and played around with a simple Solarize filter.

I finally decided that the images were far too busy for such
a small tapestry and chose to paint the design in gouache. The background was
painted blue which gave good contrast to the vibrancy of the red chillies. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Fast forward a decade and it is unusual to see anyone using a
dedicated <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>camera. Smartphone's seem to now
be preferred, as many have high quality built in cameras. I have a Microsoft Lumia
950 XL Smartphone. I chose it as it has an excellent <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>20 megapixel camera with a dedicated camera shutter
button. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>It has a Windows 10 operating
system and runs most of the same apps as my Surface Pro 3. My phone has the
capacity to take up to a 64gb micro sd card. Photos are set up to be saved to
the sd card and are around 3 megabyte and 3000 megapixels in size, giving you a
high quality image to print, crop or manipulate in some way. The only downside
to choosing a Windows phone is that it is neither iOS or Android. So far the
Microsoft Store has limited photo editing apps available.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While researching for this article I tried to find some
photo editing apps that are available from the Apple Store, Google Play and the
Microsoft Store. One of the only options that I could find was an app called <a href="https://www.facebook.com/superphotoapp/" target="_blank">SuperPhoto</a>.
The app is free but it has a lot of locked features. I downloaded a free trial
of the full app but found it difficult to use and was not pleased with any of
the results. Rather that altering the images, it seems to simply cover your
image with a filter. A search for photos using this app can be found on
instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/superphotoapp/">here</a>.
I then decided to have a play with the highly popular app <a href="http://www.tinrocket.com/apps/waterlogue/" target="_blank">Waterlogue</a> So far it is available in both the Apple and Microsoft Stores, you can download it as a free trial without committing to purchase it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Unlike some apps you do not need an internet connection to use it. I have chosen to use the above photo of an Australian native 'Egg and Bacon' plant as it was taken with my phone and is a good example of the photo quality.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">By selecting the small heart icon on the right hand side, the app gives you several options to save or share your images. The Save to Photos option, images are saved directly into your pictures folder. The app automatically changes the original file name to Waterlogue. It's a good idea to go straight into your folder and change the name of the image to the app selection that created it, rather than wonder later on which one you used. Transferring images into dedicated folders helps keep your pictures folder tidy.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">Manipulated images are saved slightly smaller that the original, but will print out to a good scale if you wish to make a cartoon tracing from them. </span></div>

A new video has just been completed of the redevelopment for the Ararat Arts Precinct.<br />
Some of it was filmed during our inspection at the end of July. Those who are familiar with the inside of the Gallery will see a lot of changes.

The redevelopment works at the Ararat Arts Precinct are well underway. The Project Control Group had its first inspection at the end of July. I was surprised by how much work had already been undertaken inside the Town Hall, but there is a ban on sharing any images of the inside works on social media. Due to that here are some photos of the slab for the new gallery and public toilets that were poured the day before.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrKnajnJWz2LmaL53zcH081aG_sDzNNDrqdNHw4VcjWIqbkRFnPi0SMBYGra-eBoQttOATROqyrjYbV_1QOZjqggazKzC6VFccB8RsDLYpp30oGJqJDYWH2aIHeC50_25Y4ihmQoZNj1DM/s1600/gallery+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="394" data-original-width="700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrKnajnJWz2LmaL53zcH081aG_sDzNNDrqdNHw4VcjWIqbkRFnPi0SMBYGra-eBoQttOATROqyrjYbV_1QOZjqggazKzC6VFccB8RsDLYpp30oGJqJDYWH2aIHeC50_25Y4ihmQoZNj1DM/s1600/gallery+3.jpg" /></a></div>
Its difficult to judge the scale as the site is so large and we were unable to walk over the new area. Those of you who have been regular visitors to the gallery can see that the entrance to the new space has been moved down to opposite the council offices.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The new entrance will be where the door into the arts workshop had previously been.<br />

The gallery is currently closed and the renovations are scheduled to be completed in time for the galleries 50th birthday celebrations. The <a href="https://www.artscentremelbourne.com.au/kylie" target="_blank">'Kylie on Stage'</a> exhibition will be one of the first exhibitions to be shown in the new gallery. These are photos that I took of the exhibition at the Arts Center late last year.</div>

Last Saturday, Carol Cains, Curator Asian Art, National Gallery of Victoria and curator of 'Adorned: Textile and Jewellery from Central Asia' traveled to the Ararat Regional Art Gallery to conduct a floor talk, providing a wealth of knowledge of pieces in the exhibition. Many traveled long distances for the opportunity to learn more about the culture and expertise that produced these stunning works. Here Carol explained the techniques and significance of this piece, a 'Suzani' embroidered by a bride and her family were an important part of a bride’s dowry and used as hangings, bed covers, partitions, curtains,coffin covers and prayer mats.<br />

Animals were highly prized possessions, the felt textile on the right is described as either a horse or camel blanket, which could also be used as a canopy for a yurt interior. The felted piece on the left is a horse blanket. The design incorporates slits for the girth strap that holds the saddle in place. <br />

This tent band is the only purely decorative piece in the exhibition that is woven, other works are hand embroidered. Woven on a narrow cotton warp with wool for the weft, the band measures approximately 11 meters long. Tent bands served as practical and decorative functions inside and outside the yurt.<br />

The
exhibition, comprising over sixty works, explores textiles and
jewellery from Central Asia through the distinctive traditions of two of
the largest cultural groups of the region, the Uzbek and Turkmen
peoples. Urban Uzbek mercantile communities were based in market towns
along the Silk Road, and the nomadic Turkmen peoples lived on the
steppes of Central Asia.<br />

continuing on to Ararat, Dunkeld, Geelong and Sale.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The project is run by SEAM Inc, a new art and
environment enterprise based in Ballarat that aims to create events connecting
people to issues of sustainability via art. Encouraging people to stay Warm
with wool rather than burning fossil fuels. Workshops participants have created
patterns including native flowers, gum trees and leaves, squares that can be sewn
into blankets and wind turbines. The pieces will eventually contribute to a large-scale image
of a landscape regenerated after the closure of a coal mine. A
picture that has been designed by local Ballarat artist <a href="https://larsstenberg.net/" target="_blank">Lars Stenberg</a>.</div>

A magnificent, ancient River Red gum that still stands proud at what was once my childhood home.<br />
<br />
I lived in a house opposite this tree from birth to almost 16 years of age. Last week I drove past the property, it is dry and dusty, and they were feeding the sheep. The end of April is lambing season. Tender shoots of new green grass in my years there, would be by now covering the paddocks and each morning on my way to school we would count the new born lambs and look for groups of twins. The mornings then were cold and often the first frosts would cover the ground in a blanket of white. Sadly there is only dust on the paddocks at present. Yesterdays temperature was 20.7C <br />
Today leaders from 160 countries will officially sign the Paris Climate
Agreement on Earth Day 2016. But are we really doing enough?<br />
In a consumer driven world, leaders are not encouraging buying less. We really all need to address how we treat the earth, and do more to help change the future. <br />
<br />
Recommendations are <br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">Walk to work, cycle or take public
transport</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">Use a reusable coffee cup</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">Make sure you recycle</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">Go paperless</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">Take a tote bag to the shop</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">Plant a tree</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">Go meat or dairy free at least once a
week</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">Carry a reusable water bottle</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">Buy local produce</span></li>
</ol>

<b><i>Adorned: Textiles and Jewellery from Central Asia</i> </b>draws
on the collection of the National Gallery of Victoria to present a
window onto the magnificent sartorial traditions of the vast Central
Asian region stretching from China in the east to the Caspian Sea in the
west, and between Russia in the north and Pakistan in the south. The
exhibition, comprising over sixty works, explores textiles and
jewellery from Central Asia through the distinctive traditions of two of
the largest cultural groups of the region, the Uzbek and Turkmen
peoples. Urban Uzbek mercantile communities were based in market towns
along the Silk Road, and the nomadic Turkmen peoples lived on the
steppes of Central Asia. Their textile skills, including dyeing, weaving
and embroidery, and the distinctive styles and motifs of their garments
are presented with jewellery from each culture.<br />
Uzbek <i>khans</i>
(rulers) controlled trading towns including Bukhara and Samarkand,
where vividly coloured, boldly patterned silk robes worn by men and
women were created within a guild system employing weavers and dyers.
These sumptuous garments were worn with boldly patterned tunics and
trousers, creating a cacophony of bright colours. They were accompanied
with intricately wrought, delicate silver jewellery and lavishly
embroidered hats and bags. The designs and materials of Uzbek textiles
indicate status, the period they were made and the particular Uzbek
community which made them.<br />
The nomadic and agricultural Turkmen
community also had a rich textile and jewellery tradition, producing
splendid embroidered trappings for their prize horses and camels, and
elaborate woven and embroidered textiles to embellish the felt yurts
which sheltered Turkmen communities on their seasonal travels. Richly
embroidered women’s mantles, and elaborate hats worn at ceremonies and
festivals, constitute some of the more dramatic costume elements of
Turkmen attire, along with gilt-silver and carnelian jewellery which is
renowned for its monumental style and which functioned as a form of
portable wealth. Individual Turkmen communities may be distinguished by
costume elements including embroidery stitches and colour palettes.<br />
The
exhibition also includes a small group of Turkmen children’s garments
which are characterised by elaborate embroidery and appliqué, reflecting
the preciousness of children in the community and also performing a
protective function. The garments and jewellery are embellished with
numerous amuletic motifs and materials which shield the wearer from
harm. </div>

The American Tapestry Alliance's <a href="http://www.vancouveryarn.com/blog/announcing-atas-tapestry-unlimited-blog-tour" target="_blank">Tapestry Unlimited Blog Tour</a> has begun with two of the six tapestry weavers sharing their skills.<br />
My first formal teacher in tapestry was <a href="http://www.bluestonemagazine.com.au/2014/10/26/the-magnificent-mind-of-marie-cook/" target="_blank">Marie Cook</a>, a founding weaver at the Australian Tapestry Workshop. Marie was trained by <a href="http://blogs.abc.net.au/nsw/2009/11/old-artform-new-to-australia.html" target="_blank">Belinda Ransom</a>, a graduate of the Edinburgh College Art, having studied there with Archie Brennan. As a graduate of the Diploma of Art 'Tapestry' I think that it is safe to say that we weave in the 'style of Archie Brennan' What I have found intersting so far is how others weave and finish off their projects. So join the tour and be inspired. <br />

A beautiful sky this morning, a quiet time while it is still cool to wander around the garden. It has been HOT here with some days reaching into the 40's. For those who measure in Fahrenheit we have had days that it has reached 112 f. My studio lays empty as there is no air conditioning and playing with wool in this weather for me is not something that I choose to do. I have had a break from weaving since completing work early last year for <a href="http://debbieherd.blogspot.com.au/2015/05/tapestries-by-debbie-herd-and-jan.html" target="_blank">our exhibition</a> at the Ararat Regional Art Gallery. It feels odd not to be weaving, but my days are filled with other things. I need to empty my studio as I am having some renovations done in March. After that I hope to get back to the loom. Happy New Year and may 2016 be a creative year however you choose to spend it. </div>
