Tatty edges rule :)

Just before making the piece I posted about a few days ago, I cut the raw edges off all the fabrics. They had a lovely frayed look to them. I sewed them all onto a piece of black fabric and don't they look great all lined up together :)

I will probably make a fabric journal cover from this. Any other suggestions?

Nice work on your quilt a couple of posts back. I'm a big fan of Melody Johnson's work too. Have to read her blog daily!!; 2:26 pm

Artist’s statement

Reality is never absolute, and each person’s interpretation of reality is unique, and equally valid. When one’s reality is that of a ‘different drum’, not shared by many, one can feel isolated and alienated in the world, and withdraw, feeling not-understood. I am awed by art’s power to bridge this divide, and to communicate, connect and bring understanding where previously there was separation and alienation; where we were ships passing in the night.

If my work strikes a chord with another person, I feel heard, and it is my fervent wish that the reality of the viewer is likewise validated.
