Fence weaving photos


Weaving the fence at Magnetic Island
Eight members of Fibres and Fabrics travelled to Magnetic Island to weave creations on the fence at Nelly Bay. We were invited by the Magnetic Island Bay Dayz festival to try to hide an ugly hole.  We had two very busy days weaving and creating and working with about 8 Magnetic Islanders and tourists who came to help. We were on public display as we were right where everyone gets on and off the ferry so we had a lot of very positive comments.  I am hoping that the weaving/cross stitch will continue as there are still about 50 panels to cover.
