For centuries women have used cloth as a tool of comfort and as an expression of beauty within their homes. Creating cloth for warmth, cloth for shelter, our female predecessors embellished these linens with hand stitch using laborious and time consuming techniques thereby enhancing the functional beauty of objects which enveloped and protected their families. Inspired by these women I hope my creations pay tribute to and recognise the devotion expressed in cloth by our female ancestors .

A mosaic with all drop gorgeous pieces what more I can want on a monday night. I really like the way you hung them up. In this way you can also make a textile paintings.
Its a really neat solution. I've only just realised they are those clip on hooks.
Oh yikes, she's getting out the drill!! Be careful. Seeing your mosaic made me think how it would be fun to have one of those contraptions and change out the art on it as often as whim struck. That way the art would be ever-changing. LIKE that idea a lot!!
i like it hung like that. It's a very nice way to display the artwork. It's beautiful by the way.
A long pole with lots hanging - that sounds quite magical.
I was thinking with your last post that one could create an amazing pelmet with overlapped clipped-on pieces like this. Could look wonderful and be an effective display technique... mmmmmmmm!
I like them hanging, possiblt lots of pieces down In a line.
I like them hanging too. They are lovely.

I have poles in my kitchen but hubby bought me wire for the studio from ikea. It's one long cable that snakes around two walls with lots of clips and hooks to hang anything I desire. I love hanging things from it that spark my creativity, I can just see your lovelys hanging there!
I think it depends on the piece, and on space, and on whether you like picking up the pieces to look at them more closely..
Lots to think about, then!
