Baby Rose

I

made this cardboard mannequin for my onion bag/satin fabric weaving piece, Rosie. It is here hanging in an art show between two of my other
pieces, The Key, and Ms. In the Pink. (I will post them one of these days!)

I went through a phase where I named things Rosy, which has special significance for me because I wanted to name my baby girl Rose, or some combination with that name.

I liked Liberty Rose, or Libby Rose for short because Liberty meant that the girl had complete freedom (from my feminist upbringing), and because I love roses, they are beautiful, and I grow them.

It was a very symbolic period for me because I desperately wanted to have another baby. I put the remainder of the energy of my grief into these pieces, in a positive way. It was a transition point for me. It helped me to realize that with an end there is a new beginning. When one door closes, new doors open. Then choices abound.

aahhhmmm.
peace and love

Victoria FibreFest 2007

This is pretty racy, and no I didn't plan it that way, it just happened. Recycled mesh onion bags, stitching with fabric strips, beads, and foil transfer. This piece was made to show in the Port Moody Arts Centre's Wearable Art Competition in October 2006. It's making it's way around BC.....

Beside the spinner's tent. Brenda lent me her fabulous hand knit sweater to wear ALL day. She dyed all the wool in the same blue vat, and got three different shades. It was warm and lovely. So was she! Thank you.

My favorite view from the Malahat on the way up island. So beautiful!!!
