Hundreds of tiny threads sew people together through the years.

Red for Photo Friday (having a hard time choosing one ;)

I picked these colors to embroider the sleeve for my new phone. The thread name is Farao Egipcio. It's a twisted 2-ply thread. I've never heard of this thread before!

Personal (2009 tee collection)

 

I have just increased my tee range by adding four new tee's. Each tee is available in three sizes S (35-37 inches), M (38-40 inches) and L (41-43 inches). I have only be had five of each size screen printed!* So if you want one of these sweet tee's for only 8 of your English pounds you better move fast!

We cannot live only for ourselves.

A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects.

Happy Leap Day: Mini Quilt + Giveaway!

 

Blogged

Today I spent some time putting a bit of work towards an art piece I have been chipping away at for well over a year. It's one of those where I really wasn't certain of the end. I couldn't see it complete. I just knew I had to start it because it kept whispering to me. I let go and just started, allowing it to go wherever it went. I still don't have a vision of the exact finished piece, but recently I have started polishing the mirror again, which always makes things a bit more in focus. This is a pile of threads that I pulled from some pieces of fabric.

 

| threads |

 

string the flaxen weft

with love on your fingertips

to create a new

fabric for this world

 

blanketing the hearts

that hold the heavy loads

strength in the warp

shoulders the burden

 

in the creating

is also the destruction

the pulling of threads

to unleash a new edge

 

a birth of time

folding over the weave

never losing

my line to you
