This will be the last post from Blonduos, it is sadto be leaving.  The exhibit was this evening and not a good turn out but it was nice to meet a few new people and talk about textiles. I have attached some pictures of Amanda’s wonderful weaving and some of our guests. 

   
   
I have to go to,the post office tomorrow to mail myself a big box and to Reyjkavik late tomorrow afternoon.  The box contains most of the Icelandic wool roving I purchased here.  It won’t quite all fit but I am only leaving behind the colours I am least fond of and hopefully someone else will enjoy using them either to spin or to wet felt with. 

This is the picture of Under the Sea II, I took lots of pictures of how it is set up as I won’t remember and this seemed a very nice balance, different textures and colour, some short and some tall.  I really like the latest version of my underwater world.   I spent a few minutes this afternoon working on a couple of felted bracelets, one to give Johanna for all of the extras she has done for us, like taking us to Reyjkavik tomorrow. 

It is still overcast windy and rainy but I did manage to get a swim and water jog late this morning. I will miss the pool not necessarily the walking outside in your wet bathing suit but the lovely warm water in the hot pool that’s for sure. And I will certainly miss the Textile Centre, what a great place to have spent the last 4 weeks, wonderful studio space, comfortable accommodation and Blonduos is a very nice town to stay for a while. 

I hope to get a little retail therapy in tomorrow afternoon or Saturday morning in Reyjkavik, really have not purchased much except some tanned fish skins so looking forward to seeing some nice hand knitting that might have to come home with me.  Thanks for reading.
