~Recycled History~
An effort to remember our children, & to save them...
a journey of recycling...
How does this...
a pile of seeming junk, not fit to be worn or beautified
become this,
which inevitably
becomes this gown.
{not such a great photo, it doesnt really show the detail, wow the jacket was hard to make! i had to measure it on me ~since i dont have a dress mannequinn~ late at nights when my sister was asleep.}
"where happy little bluebirds {nest]"
{everyone kept asking me, 'why are their 50 toilet rolls in the cupboard?' :)
i began this feat as part of this project,
which was kind of part of my 'google degree' as i call it :) how i love the things the internet makes accessible, wisdom & beauty & images from all corners of the world
climbing ladders of splendour,
to retrieve loveliness
on behalf of my little sister...
i made this gown for her, & for children everywhere
Children ~ holding their future in our hands!
& this song of togetherness! {how do we organize one of these in Brisbane?}

Thank you, thank you, thank you,
ReplyDeleteYour lovely journal arrived and after a long hard week in the office, it was a real mood lifter. Will do a post over the weekend to share this lovely toned creation with everyone.
Have a great weekend !
what an amazing project! I love that you wrote about recycling being a gift to our children and that gown is just fabulous.
