fairy cloth

A pile of dyed strips is like a plate of chocolate chip cookies -- they're both simply irresistible. The pansy on the newly-woven cloth is from the very plants that were used to dye it. Quite amazing.


They belong together. I honestly didn't see it coming. Now I wonder if a trilogy is in the works? Makes me think of a fairy bed of soft moss and maybe someone looking out the flower window. I am enchanted.


Happy weekend. xo

  2. perfect mates. i would be tempted to stitch the reflection shapes onto the cloth with soft colored thread.
    this pair must have a tender story.

    The colors are so soft almost a whisper. :)
