Convict Cloth

I'm enrolled in a post-graduate certificate in Arts at ANU in Canberra 

(only need to go there twice a term).

My research topic is the convict women transported to Australia 

in the late 1700's/early 1800's

why were they called 'Damned Whores'? 

was it deserved? 

My first mini project is the creation of some convict cloth.

I needed some more 'Noro' yarn to finish the stitching. 

I had a play day with the camera.

Beautiful earthy colours.
