This video is part of the article Maggie McGonagall in the Dynamic weaving series. Published in issue 19 of Tiny Studio Creative Life Magazine. Pictures were taken in New Zealand. On the western side of the Forgotten World Highway around Taranaki volcano lies Egmont National Park and the so-called 'Goblin Forest'. Also known as the Kamahi Walk. A forest full of gnarled, twisted moss-covered trees. They are mostly kamahi trees that began their lives on the trunks of other trees. Their trunks and branches have grown through and around the existing trees, creating the distinctive fairy tale forest. The high humidity throughout the year is a great environment for mosses and lichens and prehistoric ferns. By day, the forest is vibrantly green with vegetation, often covered in dew or rain.

The shawl Alcyone This project is the thirteenth episode of the 'Dynamic weaving' series. The project is about the Greek myth about Alcyone being turned into a Kingfisher by Zeus. According to lore from Greek mythology, the kingfisher symbolises unconditional loyalty and intransigence.

The design of the Aotearoa shawl finds its origin in New Zealand. An island with a relatively young geological history, snow-capped mountains, beautiful white and black beaches, ancient volcanic peaks and craters. Sky-reflecting lakes and the rising steam and bubbling mud of almost otherworldly geothermal activity. Lush dense forests containing a diverse collection of plants, animals and birds. Such as the Kiwi, Tui and huge tree ferns. The Southern Hemisphere sky offers some of the best stargazing opportunities in the world.

The Shawl Nehalennia The goddess Nehalennia, protector of sailors and salt merchants, has long been hidden under the surface of the water, lost, forgotten, flooded. Around 150 AD there were temples for Nehalennia in Domburg, the remains of which were uncovered during a stormy night in 1647. Today, on Domburg's boulevard, there is a Mondrian bench, on which a bronze statue of the goddess Nehaleninna overlooks the waters of the North Sea
