wHAT i'VE BEEN DOING...
Laughing is what I've been doing a lot! Photos by Rachel Horvath, my amazing neighbor at Real Tinsel studios.
What I've been stitching...
Mostly mom... I'm tracing photographs of my mom onto translucent fabric, stitching the profile and then suspending the finished pieces from a very cool apparatus made by my landlord, Keith Nelson. The whole mcgillicuddy is mounted in front of a mirror. There's also one profile of me. :) I'm not sure what the final piece will be though I might incorporate letters mom wrote to my dad when she was 19 years old and letters I wrote to my parents when I was 19. Hmmm...
what readers say ...
Lyrical and sensitive … -- Jayshree M. Tripathi
I really enjoyed this uplifting poem which celebrates the power of the perfect shoe. -- Pamela Newham
I love this, and I really relate to the torn feelings you so eloquently shared. -- Stephanie Gagos
