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!

My mother’s skirt, no. 3 (in progress)

 
Even though I have other projects on the go, this one is really grabbing my attention!

New – online course

Hidden Treasures 2b

Recently I’ve been looking at developing some online courses, and have written one so far. I would like to write some more so people anywhere in the world can learn about the processes I use. If anyone is interested in previewing my first one, it’s a cloth book workshop called Hidden Treasures that I made from eco dyed fabrics (you can also see a short video here – http://youtu.be/Wa4K5CLppcM). I would love to know your thoughts – even better, please consider enrolling for the course!
