Today, I was looking at stuff I've acquired over the years during my travels, and I found this. This is "Pacha Mama" and her tiny baby. She's a fertility goddess revered by the indigenous people of the Andes. (Pacha Mama translates to "Mother Earth.")
I met the woman who made this doll. She claimed that the dress was made from an ancient burial cloth. I don't believe it, but it makes a great story.
Not long ago, I finished a needlepoint cushion from Ehrman needlepoint designs. I'm thinking about starting another project this winter.
Hmmm. Could this be a procrastination technique to keep me from doing "real" work in my studio? After all, how many pillows does one girl need?
Anyway, here's a picture of the last project.
This is a great new publishing effort, mom. And that's a great pillow. I will come and rest against it soon ;)
