I've been wondering for a while now if the peace pins could/should be simpler.
So I tore a strip of rusted cloth, folded it over a pin, stitched around the edges, and wrote on it ...
Except that wasn't quite what I had in mind.
Next I tried folding some indigo-dyed shibori cloth, wrote out the words, stitched through both sides, then threaded the pin through the top and stitched it in place ...
Better.
So I tried another, this time with more of the rusted cloth. And I was happy enough with it to add my signature on the back ...
But it still wasn't quite right.
Then it hit me: Deb Lacativa's magical hand-dyed floss ...
Thus was born the prototype for the Peace Pin Project, version 2.0 ... hopefully with many more to come.
