And some of the time they live happily ever after.
But there is usually some tension along the way.
I need to make my work as true as I can.
Believable.
I rely on the archetypal shapes of circle, cross and dot and use them as language.
They are the backs I suppose.
Felt drawings
I plan to display them so that the original 'first side' will not be shown.
I don't mind that the original designs will be secret.
Believe me.
and forget me nots.

I used velvet and found fabrics to make small collages on wool felt
which were then attached together.
I kept going until I ran out of felt.
Then I turned them over, and used the felt 'backs' as if they were pieces of paper
and made completely fresh and new drawings.
Drawings that don't have anything to do with the winter.
Penny Berens and I have produced an exhibition entitled Cloth Of Time.

Just about speechless. These are so moving and such a different feel from the front of the pieces.
Did the stitching go through to the other side - thinking of the potential for further interventions.
The new stitching does not go through to the other side.
I love working into wool felt.
I love that both sides relate to each other, but that they are completely different. and that the "in-side" is fresh and new and contained within itself. A metaphor for humans and their two sides...outer and inner. xo
there is such gentle power in your work
thank you dear Mo xox
You always amaze me 🎶🎵🎶 this work you do. Two sides to everything .. everyone. Love it!
Great work, very interesting designs, I like the ideal pattern for summer. You have the talent to do such things because I occasionally embroider something, but if you do it more often the better work comes out, with us usually only some embroideries or do some pillowcases that are only a decorative element in the house anyway it has an object to own an object, it looks better at once.
Friend...if I brought a chair to your yard, you would have to coax me inside afterawhile.
Wow! I agree totally with Sue McQ. You can look endlessly at such successful works. For me, it's a kind of art leaf or even art itself. What you do is great and I read the key of the blog not from today. I deal with embroidery myself, but I know it is amateurish. Sometimes I sew something, I knitted I was left (like my grandmother) but it's important that all the time ahead.
