Yesterday, I attended two related events at the
Craft and Folk Art Museum that I found very transformative.
Here is what I took:
 |
| My huipil with the shredded shoulder and a [way too large a] pile of possible fabrics for patching. |
Here is some of what I took in:
From Kath and Kim of
The Possibility Project
Along with her short slide lecture, Ruth brought along some examples of her Visible Mending to inspire us:
 |
| Jeans |
 |
| Vest back and detail |
 |
| Sweater (shown sideways) |
I could have sat and stared at Ruth's huipil for a long time...
But it was time to get stitching!
 |
| I opted for the panty with a print that I designed and red embroidery floss. |
 |
| Done! I call this Chaos Stitching -- decisions made in a flash, permission granted to dive right into it. |
One of my main reasons for attending was to sit around a table with a bunch of others, stitching.
 |
| It was as wonderful as I'd hoped. |
 |
| Feeling mended! |
Final quote from Ruth:
Thank you so much, Kath, Kim, Ruth, and CAFAM!
