- that's what I call my stitched hangers.
I'm fascinated by the power of words and how a well-chosen word or words can encapsulate the essence of a person - or indeed a quality of a person.
This is the one I posted with close up details - and here it is in its entirety. Another hanger is awaiting a photo shoot and then these are ready to be listed in my Etsy shop. On this hanger I've used a favorite wise quote (if you can't read the text click on image to enlarge) and I kind of let the words dictate the composition. I recently got very inspired by these words used in a post by a dear friend:
From now on I will tell you of new things,
of hidden things unknown to you.
They are created now, and not long ago;
you have not heard of them before today.
So you cannot say,
‘Yes, I knew of them.’
Isaiah 48:6-7
I love this idea of creating something that has not been created before - of something original fetched out of, well... a world unseen and unknown to us. As if a creative intelligence is just there awaiting translation.
These hangers will also be made available as custom order with a word or words to match the essence of the receiver.
Beautiful, I love the layers, and the parchment, and the quote is so beautiful ,too- though very difficult to live by,so to speak- and then maybe not!
ReplyDeleteTak for dit sidste brev, jeg har villet skrive lige siden ,men der er hele tiden kommet ting imellem! Jeg kikkede også på din anden blog- og kender jo alle de misserable "mishandlede" katte.fra mine få besøg i Grækenland.
Det er dejligt der er mennesker ,som dig, der gør en indsat- jeg skal love for der er forskel fra du finder dem-til de har fået mad i en periode.Det må være meget livsbekræftende at se.
Her er det rigtig efterår nu-marken overfor mit vindue,er ved at blive pløjet- så mågerne flyver i hundredevis, derovre !!!
Jeg bor på havsiden udenfor Gudhjem-så der er rigtig mange måger og andefugle her.
Jeg håber din weekend er god-og ønsker dig en skøn ny uge på din -helt sikker -fantastiske græske ø.
Knus,Dorthe
