From the top and moving clockwise, one in coral and gray ikat for daughter Meg, fuschia and teal for younger daughter Meliss, prairie tea dyed and cochineal for Gill in the UK, orange thrifted shirt linen and cochineal for Gale in Georgia, black and white for Anna Lisa in Rhode Island, and last (how did it take me this long?), a green and madder dyed coral pin for myself (note: the colored links lead to posts about the dyestuffs used to make them).
B-sides ...
And while I always intone "imagine peace" as I stitch, this batch had a decidedly pink/peach/coral vibe that had me hoping to be interrupted by a call from Austin. No such luck.
So. There have been 30 pins so far, but I will happily do more if anyone regrets not having put in a request at the outset. Just leave word(s) and color(s) of peace in a comment on any post in the blog, then send an email to lizackert@gmail.com with your mailing address.
I've remedied some omissions by going back to all the posts, which are now grouped under the Index heading "Peace Pin Project" and created a photo link in the right column. I also added links to all the Kindred Spirit mentioned in the posts and addenda where those blogs have featured posts about the arrival of the peace pins ...
In Australia
New Mexico
Massachusetts
England
and Washington (state)
If I missed anyone, please let me know!
With thanks to all who have participated so far ... and those yet to come. Because there can never be too much peace, nor can it ever be too late to imagine it.
