Moon boat

I made this paper lantern today in a fabulous workshop with ATASDA Qld under the tutelage of Therese Flynn- Clarke. 

I will hang it outside with some little lights going up the mast.

‘The owl and the pussy cat went to sea’

It was a fun workshop,with not measuring or patterns we had to think it out and work on design problems as we went along. 

Spirit Warrior

Finally I finished my Spirit Warrior. She is standing upright in her kantha stitched cloak, she has a serene face and she is sagely sending me good vibes .  I want to add more beads to her headdress and add more stitching to her cloak .

Her ‘ hair’ is a short section of vintage braid I found in a box that I got in a garage sale . Her face is stitched with a long warrior bugle bead nose. Makes her proud. All beads and fabrics are what I found while rummaging through my treasure trove of thrifted , found or donated old and vintage pieces of lace, fibre , fabric and paraphernalia as in beads and trinkets. She needs a name now I am thinking 💭
