Something to cling to …
when I was a child
my mother’s skirt was
something to cling to
reassurance hidden
in its folds encompassing
someone who made our
everyday routine into an
act of love and sacrifice
elevating the mundane
to something precious
something I still cling to
now she’s gone …

Thinking of entering this in Remade 2016. Still need to make a jacket and a shirt to go with it!
Isn’t she gorgeous?
Love how volunteer model Sarah Parker looks in my entry in the Queensland 2016 Art to Wear Awards! Titled ‘The Making of Mary Mordaunt’, it is made from an eco dyed and rusted vintage slip and a Victorian chemise, to which I’ve added hand stitched and crochet embellishments with vintage silk and shredded paper around the hem. More wearable art entries on their Facebook page.
Market prep
Ready for The Stables Handmade Market ‘Spring Fling’ last Saturday. These items were offered for sale for the first time, plus some new eco fashions and more.
My stall today.
The Stables Handmade Market, St Marys, Tasmania, Australia.
