Real Magic from Kathy Dorfer

a parcel just arrived on the doorstep from Kathy Dorfer – amazing painter of the spirit crow named Alala,
cloth conjuror, glass bead artist, bookbinder, photographer and magic crow woman
who I met through the circle over at Jude Hill’s Spirit Cloth
when I made the goat/crow eye amulet in February Kathy mentioned she loves making eye beads so I asked if she could make me a crow eye bead
& she did! inside lay 4 crow eye beads in a range of sizes + lots of glass feathers & beautiful blue beads to play with
(in an amazing bit of synchronicity Heidi Kummli’s book “The Spirit of Bead Embroidery) arrived at the same time !)
such treasures!
moved the beads over to my bench
and this crow feather fitted perfectly into the first crow eye bead I picked up
thank you Kathy, you make real magic!
