evolution

evolution

given enough time, everything changes. with what i make, i consider everything a work in progress. i've been known to often make a piece of clothing and wear it a few times, and then make further changes. or sit with something, think on it. in the case of this mama and baby grey whale, i have been sitting with them for awhile, even though i had called them "done". last week i added a few more layers, some patchwork, bits of linen, cotton, silk. they have more character i think, a bit of experience coming as they've been around a bit now. i like them even more. they are back in the shop.

Beautiful, k. I say that a lot about your stuff, don't I? These whales look so soft and touchable. Lovely details.
