The Solace project ....

My response/ contribution to the "Solace" project being created by India Flint ( An invitation from India Flint, please do click on the link for details of the project) ....





 Process:
Vintage linen bed sheet.  Lettering: painted with acrylics, sewn with linen thread and burnt in order to recreate the image of Iron Gall ink corrosion (Iron Gall ink quickly replaced with acrylic paint, due to the tummy turning moment when it dawned on me the impact that the iron might have on an Indigo vat)


Darned with vintage white cotton:




 My prayer/ wish "To repair the damage that we have done whilst: acknowledging, accepting and honoring/ remembering the scars".

Some of the completed pennants can be found here: Sweetpeapath
Edit: The pennants in situ ..

    Hello Kate ~ have found your blog post thru googling the interpixies ... and I hope it is ok with you that I've added a link on my blog to your beautiful flag? I'm compiling a list of folks who are contributing to India's solace project. Please let me know if you'd prefer I didn't.
    Thank you.
