Do you put on a suit?
International Women’s month 8th Feb - 8th March 2013
DO YOU PUT ON A SUIT?
Do you feel that you put on a suit everyday or is it just who you are?, the way you were made may have less value in some places but its not about what others think of you its how you think of yourself?
if you would like to contribute please send me your images jpeg to eoniri@yahoo.co.uk

LADY IN WAITING
These image has been in the making for a while. I have been making separate pieces while not really thinking about where it was going, or should say where it was leading me. I seem to be creating a puzzle of sorts that I have pieced together to create these composed image- story’s if you like.
let me know what you think.
If you would like to take part in exhibiting your work on my blogs please send jpeg to eoniri@yahoo.co.uk

My friend, Quilting Mafia, asked me to contribute to International
Women’s Month. International
Women’s Day, started on 1st February, but she is carrying it through
the whole of the month.
I have been making and creating for many years, and my friend, Quilting
Mafia, asked me to contribute to International Women’s Week, which starts this
month, but she is carrying it through the whole of the month.
I have been making and creating for many years, and have decided to
share my work with all the world’s women.
Last year, Suzanne in a tester group, which met each month to weave,
taught me.
All the weavings were based around spirituality, whether you were
religious or not, as religion, beliefs were not the focus point.
After some time, we learnt to weave a Doll on a frame using yarns as the
warp (left to right) threads, and then the ‘fabric’ was cut from the
frame. The sides were sewn
together then the centre was filled with small pebbles, then dried pulses,
rice, and died, scented flowers or petals. I filled my doll with lentils, dried leaves, scented with
essential oils and an amber stone at the base.
Her head is made with needle felted, merino wool, with Swarovski glass
for eyes.
She is wearing a head wrap, 6made from a webbed yarn, which I used to
weave her body.
During each part of making the doll, I thought about how she/I would
‘be’.
Will she be tall, short, even the skin colour As you can see, she is has a green face.
Moreover, that’s because, it’s the colour of the felted bead, I had in
my stash!
Her name is ‘Countess Carmelita’, and she is going out for the day.
She has no physical money, but she uses cowrie shell beads, as currency,
which you can see, i have sewn on her back.
The ‘Countess’, is a strong, powerful, woman, who likes her independence
and individuality.
She may be western born, but has a proud culture, which is not always
obvious by the clothes she wears, but talk to her, and she will wax lyrical
about the time she spent in Africa and the Caribbean.
I hope you like her and feel inspired to take part in International
Women’s Month
Peace & Love
