NOTE TO SELF
2023
53cm x 70cm
Quilting cotton, bamboo cotton batting, thread, wire, wooden bead, epoxy clay.
Reminders, notes, keepsakes, souvenirs and affirmations. These are the things we all pin up or stuff into our wallets, but do we ever really look at them; think about what they mean and why we kept them? Invent your own fortunes, keep the important things, take your own advice, ask the hard questions.
The fortune is invented - we make our own destiny after all.
The recipe is a Country Women’s Association staple - scones.
A nod to my love, D with an imagined date at 5.30 on Thursday.
A list of things to fuel future projects.
A piece of advice that’s best delivered as a question to myself.
