Ciao gentle readers..
I am away with family as I write this post..
making it all the more poignant..
My 2019 holiday collection
was inspired
by the
Della Robbia Roundels,
they are Khadi paper shrines
celebrating the art of Mothering and childhood.
Mothering is often glued together with scraps and shreds that hold relationships in place,
creating something from nothing.
These shrines hide unseen stitches and feature antique etchings, prints, hand dyed fabric and gilded lace,
that embellish the age old relationship
of Mother and child.
I thought I would post a few details
from my Roundels
which are mixed media on handmade Khadi paper rounds..
