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 .

Artist books

 
















Last time I was here I spoke about my collection of artist books.

This is merely a glimpse.

On my Typepad blog I had an artist book page.

It might be an idea to put one on here too. 

It can be added to when new books are finished, creating a resource, a library.

If you have taken one of my past classes that were lost due to theTypepad shutdown....I am doing my best to collate all the videos and get them sent to you.

If however you are in desperate need of access to a particular class please let me know and I will try and help.

So much creativity spilling from these pages, so much beautiful work. It's amazing to scroll through image after image, with fond memories of having been witness to the creation of several. Such an inspiring collection Karen!
