Queen's Beauty - White Knitted Fibre Art Shawl


This white fibre art shawl is knitted with soft thin cotton yarn using very big needles, which makes the texture extra soft.
To add to the beauty, I have sculptured the knitted fabric, using needle and thread, to give it its own identity.
You can find Queen's beauty in my etsy shop

WEARABLES WITH CHARACTER - Art For Your Head and Body with a focus on ATTITUDE!

Featuring Rachel from DREAMWOVEN.

Eclectic is how she describes herself. She seems like a busy bee to me, expressing herself in a very creative way, resulting in extraordinary pieces and I bet they are warm and soft!

I love her style. Check it out:

Art For Your Head "Graciela"

A freeform creation done with a combination of techniques.... felting (fulling), knitting, crocheting, handspinning. She handspun this yarn from some beautiful handdyed yarns and the felted portion is a blend of wool/alpaca.

This is a two piece ensemble... dramatic but with much attitude! It is warm but light weight, funky but elegant. Read more:

A bit about myself



As a self -taught textile artist, I learned from life and from my mother's enthusiasm in textile works, especially knitting. I have an ongoing interest in organic gardening, textile, art and craft, natural materials, dance, life and many more...
I started knitting at the age of 5 and never stopped working with textiles. Of course I have breaks sometimes and usually can't wait to start a new project again. I seem to never run out of ideas, which is fantastic.
I learned many more textile techniques over the years and feltmaking became one of my favorites.
I am also a designer of cooperative eco-games. You can find my games at
I live in the beautiful tropical paradise of Far North Queensland of Australia and love it here.
I love creating pieces that are beautiful to the eye and soft to the touch. I hope you'll enjoy my work and I love to receive comments, you can comment at the bottom of every post.
