Care: Gentle handwash, wool detergent

Materials: Lino print card - black and yellow ink on white paper, hand coloured

Dimensions: 10 x 15 cm

About the Maker: Lisa was a full-time scientific research technician in the area of plant biotechnology and a part time artist. Not surprisingly it is nature, mainly plants, that inspire her art. The texture and patterns in nature are translated into either linocut print or tapestry weaving designs.

"Reimagined tapestries woven from yarns donated to me by founding Craft ACT member Fay Skyring. These were thrums of warp yarns from upholstery fabrics she wove for Parliament House in Canberra. I have used them as weft threads in these mini tapestries, exploring the interaction of the different colours she used in three different upholstery fabrics." Lisa Molvig

Materials: Wool weft, cotton warp

Dimensions: 15 cm x 20 cm
