I have posted two pieces of weaving for March. The titles are taken from the Haiku poems that inspired the weaving.

Beginning of March March white flowering blackthorn and snowdrop heralds The coming of Spring

End of March Ancient crafts weave Spring green and purple majesty for Sun God’s return

I do think that the colours and senses of nature at the beginning of March were so much different to those I experienced at the end of March. I absolutely love the colour of the crocuses and seeing the first vivid green shoots of Spring appear as I walk through the countryside. The sun is beginning to bless us with a greater presence in the sky and it is beginning to send out its warmth to the world – Spring is almost here!!
I have spent some time lately studying the weavings of Anni Albers. She is such an inspiration in that she considers the art in her textile weavings in purely a pictorial sense rather than having to have some practical use.
