boro boro

Handstitching 

is  s l o w  stitching

It's a kind of meditative activity

(though I lóve free stitching on my machine

this kind of boro stitching I'm doing now 

is really something else)

The loveliest piece of Megamendung silk Jude once send me

is like a pair of wings on the back of the jacket.

When it was glue-stitched I didn't like the way it suddenly stopped

at the edge of the silk strip that once became the top of an evening dress

.......

so I made white (silk) running stitches 

to connect it with the piece of embroidered cotton

that was intended to become a Mexican skirt

(but never wás one)

Sometimes the ideas that pop up in my head are so many,

the stitching just goes too slowly !!!

But now that a lot of pieces are attached to the background 

I can easier make my choices.

It really is FUN !
