I would consider it, as Liniecat said, a homage.helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04412509910451805109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728965400295226837.post-59944714366466662912011-05-24T06:41:31.147-07:002011-05-24T06:41:31.147-07:00Liniecat!

I wonder, too, about how much cloth I find, but think it relates to the volume of cloth waste that is so normal here- charities can barely keep up with the volume of donations. It is easy enough for it to go to homeless people. Add to this that homeless people have no place, really, to store the stuff they get, so they end up needing to replace it. You have given me some new ideas Lyn, as always, thank you.Graciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11546622664464021767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728965400295226837.post-9496119185001010252011-05-24T06:36:09.566-07:002011-05-24T06:36:09.566-07:00Thanks, Grace; I like both of those words 'wit...Thanks, Grace; I like both of those words 'witness' and 'integrity' very much. Maybe that's it. I often think about one of your comments on your blog one day, you asked 'what if all I had was a needle and thread'. I think about that a lot when I'm wondering whether or not I should keep working with these found cloths.Graciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11546622664464021767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728965400295226837.post-20250471462055861182011-05-21T03:26:30.978-07:002011-05-21T03:26:30.978-07:00Its a homage to the homeless in its own way
I thin...Its a homage to the homeless in its own way<br />I think our homelss use plastic carrier bags and cardboard more than fabric from what ive seen them carrying and leaving behind.<br />Its so lovely what your doing, very touchingliniecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15643986273499722414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728965400295226837.post-5002424021225103852011-05-20T19:20:16.067-07:002011-05-20T19:20:16.067-07:00"can't add to it or subtract from it"..."can't add to it or subtract from it"<br /><br />just<br />see<br />it.<br />Witness it's integritygrace Forrest~Maestashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15853978388902544613noreply@blogger.com
