Posted on 12/08/2011 by

Just a small cloth that was shut away, languishing in the ‘for finishing’ box. It seems to be happy to see daylight at last. It seems to bear me, its cruel captor, no hostility at all. Cloth is patient, cloth … Continue reading →

Whites

Posted on 31/03/2011 by

Quite perverse, really, that I have a cupboard full of luscious hand-dyed fabrics in every colour imaginable, and what I really want to work with at the moment is white. It always amazes me that there are so many shades … Continue reading →
