Kotare blankets

The year 2024 started with orders for 9 blankets representing the Kotare or Kingfisher bird.

 

Kingfishers have blue green back feathers that turn to yellow to cream on the underside with a large black bill.  They are found throughout New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific region.  I love that they are cousins of the Australian kookaburra.

 

So nine blankets all the same colours.  It was a struggle.  I am not a production weaver.
 

 

 

 

I took surprisingly few photos of the Kotare blankets.  Love the colours but still couldn't do another run of them.
