OF FIBRE AND LIFE... Bits and pieces of cloth sewn or glued together curtain the world. Bits and pieces of knowledge skillfully intertwined make up the study of history. Every civilization has this tradition of squirreling away precious fragments untill they are needed to create a whole. Works of art,especially in the 20th century are often nothing more than ordered fragmentations- with each fragment carrying it's own cultural load.

A very busy Open Studios weekend down at Cuckoo Farm....a lovely buzz throughout and lots of interested folk, so rewarding but exhausting too. One day down and one to go.
The little needlebooks and mounted samples seem popular, so I'm glad I decided to make them....the studio is now very full, and I will take some new photographs shortly.
I want to make some more dresses but goodness knows where I will put them, and I might need yet another dress stand,as they look so much better displayed that way; but have I got space for a 4th, and is it really necessary....probably yes, when I think about further exhibitions.
