I love the feel of "a needle pulling thread".
I love "brown paper packages tied up in string"
I love just the "doing" and "creating" and let it fall where it may.
I have a new love of fabric. I love the textures, the colors, the touch.
Fabric can fray, or stretch or be firm, or surprise me.
It can be layered, or trimmed, or hemmed, or be unfinished, or finished.
It doesn't need crisp folds or precise measuring.
No sticky glue, just lots of threads....
Photos, sayings, quotes, ..... it is endless.
Ribbons, buttons, lace, canvas, twill, floss, anything works....
And treasured photos.. . . . This is me, age 23, Nikki, about 1 1/2 years old,
And my grandma Walters, and my great grandma Johnson.
it is almost as good as duct tape...
Old tea towels (yes, I got it from a Thrift Store) are a great fabric
source for a foundation to "play on".
So, I pile and pile and the many pages I have made, and then one day I will sew them all together. And then what will I do??? Make more.... sell them on Etsy....?
Hummm, that's a thought.
Creative is an understatement. You are so talented! Oh how I envy Ty (in a good way) that she gets to spend so much time with you in the loft... the projects you make are so beautiful!
