I attended the opening of an exhibition at Tinning St Gallery tonight, titled
Births, Deaths and Marriages. All the works were done on paper, or using paper.
Brianna Read, a fellow student from the Studio Textiles and Design course, knitted garments made from crepe paper that she had spun into yarn. They were both mourning dresses.

Colleen Burke had made two other wedding dresses, also made of paper. One was a giant knit dress and the other had hand embroidered images in hoops, attached to the dress.

The hand embroidery was amazing, especially considering the unforgiving medium of paper.
Other works were etchings and drawings by Colleen Burke and Glory Books by Brianna Read.

Brianna also has some interesting interviews she has done at the
Creative Women's Circle blog.
