Patching it Together

Back from our whirlwind of a getaway! I did a little stitching while we were away but not much to show yet.

Last night after arriving home I poked at the shirt repair. It has arrived at a place that I like, the little blue flower has been attached and everything is tacked down well enough to go through the washer and dryer. I want to soften the hard cut edges a bit and make sure it will hold up to that sort of treatment.

Lar doesn't think he will wear it and that is fine, I think when it is done I may list it in the ETSY store if I don't give it as a gift to someone. It occured to me that it has a hippie vibe that might appeal to some of the people who visit the shop. I may look at doing more of that sort of thing to try to create a bridge between the products that are in there with the sort of thing I am more interested in doing. I would like to bring Shibori Designs the business more into tune with who I am as an artist... As it stands now the shop seems to belong to one artisan and the blog another. (actually that disconnection applies to most of my life... food for thought)
