Then the peace pin project opened my hands to start letting them go. The truth is I find so much more satisfaction now seeing them out in the world rather than hidden away.
In fact, I'll be choosing from this lot in order to make a pin for a long-time friend from Virginia ...
who has since moved to California and started (yet another) design business ...
There has been a new peace pin sighting in New York, from Jude who is most responsible for my journey into slow cloth:
Which triggered an email requesting a peace pin from Laura in New Hampshire. Laura also sent a picture of a beautiful saori weaving she made for Earth Day, which I'm posting here with her permission ...
There was also this post about a peace pin landing on Hazel's Word cloth ...
that inspired my Remember 2016 cloth
That in turn generated a comment from Shelly requesting a lavender pin ... but with no contact info, so I'm hoping she'll read this and send her mailing address to lizackert@gmail.com.
While I've been busy making pins, Don has kept busy, too. He found a funky duck in a Johnson City Gallery ...
which he has since stained and painted ...
He also scored a couple of pieces while we were antiquing with Williamsburg friends who stopped by for a couple of days ...
Love the business card, which reads in part, "raw materials for creative living" ...
I spotted some indigo Ikat while we were there, but it was a tad pricey. If it's still there next time, I might try to dicker them down.
Lastly, we found a cool mixed media roadrunner painting at a Wimberley art show last weekend ...
which displaced the clock up and to the right in order to make room for it on this wall ...
So I'm thinking it was no coincidence that this fellow showed up when I drove into town today ...
No doubt about it ... roadrunners are aptly named!
