A standing stone circle of three white quartz stones stands against a night sky, stars shining and a crescent crone moon. This weaving was made at Samhain, a time of honouring the ancestors.

These three stones are inspired by a stone circle while the original story may have no longer survived, threads of the story speak of a place to bring questions and petitions – a place to stay overnight and speak to the old ones.

Weaving Loch Lomond

These circular pieces weave in threads of the colours of the land, essence of place and folklore. I cast a large circle around Loch Lomond and draw in the inspiration of the surrounding land. Some places may no longer exist but reside in ancestral memory.

Each piece is inspired by a walk in the hills, the sight of a hawk, deer or heron. They hold the magic of the thin places and the seasons, and are a blessing of hill and loch, glen and corrie, mountain, bog and crag.
