It's Crow Time 
I just love this work of yours Mo! Can’t wait to see more. And the writing resonates deeply X
am wondering where this one will take me… the words are so evocative they don’t need illustrating and yet that brave little red flowering bush on the edge of the abyss…
so fine…….on many levels.
the stitching is a self soothing centreing device for dealing with this turning point of our broken world
Indigo is alchemy of the highest order
an interesting diversion in these strange days
the indigo is stunning Mo – and I so love what you are doing with the words. That is a marvellous book. I think small quiet stitching is a way to stay sane and whole in amongst it at the moment…go gently.
(((Fiona))) Helen Garner’s writing has helped me understand the world for over 40 years, this is new one may well be my favourite. The stitching is a form of prayer this week, a way to hold on to something beautiful as our world trembles…
feeling the brave little plant, your inimini embroidery, the magic of indigo…..
less strangeness
(((Yvette)))
Indigo……………………..the color of love!
(((Martine))) it is, I love the indigo cloth on your Bee Happy so far the colour is a very pale blue, just a hint of sky…
Looking right into the Indigo caldron is intense. But that tiny stitching…..Whew. I always admire your pen work, but THIS stitching is simply a pilgrimage. Astounding!
(((Michelle))) thank you for the good words, the world is feeling so very fragile
to know of your pot growing…this Comforts, Eases,
(((Grace))) as do your words
An “echo” of words!
stitching with great care and very slowly
