‘Who seeks shall find.’
(Sophocles)
These beautiful fabrics, damasks, silks
and velvet, have just arrived this afternoon and are the result of an impromptu
buying trip. A mid-week must to raise the sprits.
Although the fabrics I use are, in the
main, recycled from previous projects, very much appreciated donations and occasionally
I receive discarded, vintage fashion items and table linen. However, I find it necessary to make an enlightened
purchase from time-to-time in order maximise ones fabric cache. After all it does generate a fresh impetus on
the creative front, like feeding the soul.
That’s what I keep telling myself anyway.
In addition to my purchases I have
just received a donation of some fabric sample books, containing a vast array
of tapestry assortments and natural damasks. Rich pickings indeed and all gratefully
received.
I think the red fabrics will make excellent
‘Red Herrings’, as I attempt to ‘Ramp up the Red’ with the British Heart
Foundation on the 7th February, more about that coming soon.
