About

I'm a Danish exhibiting, Textile Artist living in England with my American husband. I'm the owner of the Etsy shop "SewDanish" where I sell Scandinavian Textile Art, Unique Handmade Supplies. Most of my items are OOAK or made in limited editions. I have been crafting all my life and have touched base with a vast amount of techniques.
I love building up textured surfaces from scratch and I often use recycled materials in my work.
On my blog http://SewDanish.blogspot.com I will be writing tutorials and how-to's on fun experimental techniques that can easily be implemented in projects.

Hi Michelle. Thank you. I'm glad you like my work. I just cannot help making things, trying out lots of different techniques. Weaving is one of the few crafts that I have only touched very breifly. I love the feel of home woven cloth. It has a lot of 'soul', kind of like a quilt. Good luck with you project. It is always SO exciting to learn new
skills. Have a great weekend

I'm so pleased that you like my woven bowls!
It is an old Scandinavian basket weaving technique that I was taught in school many, many moons ago. The only written instructions I have ever seen was in a Danish book that is now out of print. I will get around making and posting instructions here, hopefully pretty soon.
Take care
