riverstitch wrapped







we stitched and sewed


we dyed

 


we ate well
and
inhaled deeply of the fragrance of flowers


made a blot


marveled at the mysteries of woad


shared stories and
created shapes on bodies


for me it was a wonderful week
catching up with old friends who had journeyed far
and meeting new ones
in Jenni Worth's wonderful brewery 
filled with delicious textile treasures that
gladdened the eyes and inspired our work

  6. One of the dyed pieces reminds me of a mountain stream. Beautiful ripples and water marks.
