a gift of love
June 15, 2013
it has been a difficult week
I feel like Chicken Little
but–the sky hasn’t fallen
and this wonderful package from Velma has made my world a brighter place
Velma has captured the colours and patterns of her world on the paper she makes, from the gifts of nature that surround her
they remind me of the rocks I collect where ever I go
she has created a tiny book, stitched together between wooden covers
and held with a paper band
each page a unique, miniature world
filled with love and healing
and a woven moon
in a textured sky
which hasn’t fallen

Neki – thanks, I am moving forward, a little more slowly than usual!
Blandina – the paper is almost like leather. Velma made me promise I’d write/draw/stitch in it but it is going to take some time before I’m ready to do that.

I have a friend whom I deeply respect and whenever she uses the term “difficult”, it actually means “really trying” or “deeply upsetting” to us ordinary mortals. I send some love from Hampshire in England and follow your posts with loving attention. Your weaving is very inspiring and so is your photography so I have shared it with a few weavers here so that they too can dip into the love therein…

beadsandfibreslady – thank you for the kind words, for following my blog and passing it along. I married in Southsea, had my first baby in Portsmouth and have wonderful memories of Hampshire.
