214 Shapes, 153 people and 18 countries

More shapes continue to come in for the Fate, Destiny and Self-Determination international tapestry project. We now have 214 shapes to date. Here are the most recent and a chance view some of their work. 

Janet Clark from West Yorkshire, UK writes: "I am very impressed at this project - the idea that it is an international weaving project - weavers from all over the world participating in it, is wonderful and heart-warming. A very welcome project for those of us who want to be friends with everyone!" Janet wove with raffia - a material she enjoys working with. You can see her lovely work at www.janetclark.co.uk.

Jennifer Bennett writes: " Thank you for extending your invitation to contribute to the already successful exhibition....I had missed the original call due to weaving full time in a professional studio. Since then I have been unable to weave due to illness. So cal it Fate, but this opportunity came to me just at the right moment when I decided it was in my Destiny to keep on weaving! Self-Determination kept me going right to the end even after false starts and while it was incredibly painful to weave. I wove each shape from both Australian and Swedish wools; recycled Indian sari silk and Swedish cotton and linen mix wefts all with a cotton warp. All these fibres reflect parts of my own mixed heritage and the colours reflect my passion for medieval art. So thank you very much for everything that this experience has taught me and for the wonderful idea of bringing together weavers from all over the world. " Jennifer does not have a website.
