Contrasts & Patchwork ...

a favourite Gladys Taber quote 
directions
moon lover
knees
heart * love * create* beauty
patches
stamp
embroider
***
stitching & adding patches to my "studio jeans" which are big and baggy, torn and paint spattered and oh, so comfy … letting them tell a story   … 
"We do not live an equal life,
but one of contrasts and patchwork;
now a little joy,
then a sorrow,
now a sin,
then a generous or brave action"
~Ralph Waldo Emerson"

I love them, and you must feel so "you" in them!

hi Andrea - I've had this pair of jeans for years so they are super soft and comfy and all worn in … no need to worry about paint landing on them :-D Over the years the knee tears were getting bigger, so I decided to add some patches - it's so true … personalizing them like this makes them all the more special x Happy March

What a delightful idea. I love all the quotes and thoughts on these patches. It will make you feel good putting these on. They make me feel good just seeing your work. Carry on...
