Friday's child

[Spirit Cloth; available in my Etsy store]

Today is my last day at my day job. I was feeling sad yesterday, knowing this, and when I got home I started working with fabric to get my mind off the sadness and get focused on a new direction.
Making this piece, I kept thinking of the words spirit cloth. The finished product comforted me somehow, and strengthened my desire to make art my day job. So, if the powers that be are listening, here I am!

    This is beautiful. It reminds me of the primitive storytelling quilts of the 1800's. Yes...I can sense a story happening in this piece! Strength. Goodness. Peace.

    Hope the snows melt and you find flowers beneath this weekend! (((hug)))

    I love the quiltyness of this piece. I think I just made that word up....but it looks like special little treasures and momentos and reminders and hopes and dreams all wrapped up into one.
    Let's start singing...."When you walk through a storm hold your head up high!" or better yet...let;s sing like Molly Brown, "I Ain't Down Yet!"

    "So if you go from nowhere
    On the road to somewhere
    And you meet anyone
    You know it's me."

    I know you are going somewhere!
