Finish, Turn, Begin

June 5, 2016 4 Comments

I love my work. I love to sit in my studio, radio on, surrounded by gorgeous silks, lost in my world, sewing pretty things.
It is the very best.
And I love to go to the shows and meet the people who come and look and ask questions.
And when they find a piece that speaks to them, as though I made it just for them? It’s a connection, I spoke and was heard. It’s what we all want, isn’t it? To be heard.
Coming home from a show with orders, it keeps me going!
This little top, for under a ‘Hitoe’, it’s my last order from the Baltimore show.

There is one thing that is at least as good as a pile of orders after a show.
It’s when I have finished the last one and I turn and begin again.
New work! The sky is the limit.
I can’t wait to start!

    Pristine . . . cool and simple, but sophisticated: the essence of summer!

    Thank You! Thank You!
    I buy my kimono silks online from Ichiroya. They offer one of a kind, whole bolt, vintage kimono silks as well as vintage kimonos, haoris [the shorter kimonos] and other second hand Japanese textiles.
