I am a Canadian textile artist in Calgary, Alberta. As textile artists, we connect and are connected to communities larger than our Selves, or our immediate environs. We encapsulate culture, technique, history and innovation every time we touch cloth.

I’m now thinking about how to constrol burning on natural fibre fabric. Some sort of moat? Wet a circle and burn the centre? It’s too early in the morning for this kind of thing Arlee . . . the middle of the night is the time for such musing.

Love the idea of a crack !

Forget your perfect offering,
There’s a crack in everything,
That’s how the light gets in.”

So gorgeous. I feel like I’m a toddler looking at all your beautiful pics, reaching out going I want I want!!!
It kind of reminds me of the worms I occasionally see stretched out going across my wet patio stones after a rain.
