Calm Shops and Happy Days in Cowbridge

Yesterday I went to Cowbridge to explore possible retailers for StillWalks DVD Collections and I am pleased to say that I found “The Little Shop of Calm“. So this is now another retail outlet where you can buy both StillWalks DVD Collections if you don’t like shopping online. They are also available at the Taliesin Arts Centre shop.

Time for a Break

I need to take a short break from posting here – so I hope you miss me for a few days, maybe up to a week. The featured StillWalks video is still here and will be tomorrow, and of course, you can always see other samples via the menu. Orders can still be made for  DVD Collections in the StillWalks Shop and don’t forget the tapestries on the Etsy Shop.

Fibre Connections – Metal and Weaving

Continuing with my textural link to StillWalks, these and other mini woven tapestries are available on my new Etsy Shop, ACMDesign – each one is unique. I have described them as “tapestry notes”, and in doing so, I was thinking back to when I started using wire in my work as an artist.

One of the first tapestries I wove that included barbed wire can be seen here. It and another are also on the Etsy shop. However, barbed wire is not the starting point for my work with wire and my interest in metal.

I originally started working with wire in a similar way to which I am now doing with these mini tapestries – as design notes. I think of them in the same way as I think of drawing in a sketch book, and as I work on them, I develop my feel for the wire and find out how it interacts with the soft fibre of the warp and weft. More on this tomorrow.

When it’s a DVD! It seems some people have been confused as to what they will get if they click the buy now button to get a StillWalks video. The lesson to me – never make assumptions!
