Thought

...

"Does knowing mean nothing to you, unless somebody else knows that you know it?"

{Persius, Satires, I, xxiii; via Michel De Montaigne, On Solitude.}

Reading On solitude I'm amazed how truly timeless Michel De Montaigne's words and ideas are; given that he was writing during the Renaissance, they are as fresh as today.
Plus the new penguin book covers are beautifully purple and tactile.

Sleeves

I am at my best when experimenting joyously, so I've been playing with simple sleeves. Fabric is such a wonderful medium for me because it bends to the form inside it, jersey especially. I can play with shapes, volume, and develop from there. The sketches shown are the very first iteration of 'what if...?'

I also reopened my Etsy shop last night. I'm back and feel stronger than ever! There will be huge changes in the next few weeks, one is that I have a new printer... the rest; time will tell.
