One more, one more

You may recall the placket cloth bag I made last year. If not, you can take a quick peek at this index entry to refresh your memory ...
[Note: you'll need to scroll down a bit as the "placket cloth" posts will include this one]

This is what the placket cloth has become, front ...


and back ...


It was the undoing of the old ...

  6. As I read these last two posts I kept thinking of Jude's baskets and the concept of "holding". Your bags are holders just like baskets. Holding stuff, holding memories, holding physical touch and mental discernment... Cloth is such a powerful sponge or trap for feelings and images. I can see the literal and metaphorical layers of those things in your bags and can imagine how much more rich they are for you. Lovely, life-enhancing work.
