When u look at this photo...
depending on who you are will determine what you see.
I see a beautiful rug crafted from the discarded clothing of seasons gone by. I see hands learning by doing..
by touching and feeling the weight of the cloth. I see a new skill being honed with upcycled raw materials and creativity.
What do u see?
Do you see the result of "fast fashion" and are reminded of the mountains of second hand clothing that sits outside in developing countries?
Or do you relish the thought of what you could possibly knit or weave or braid or macrame from the free or low cost second hand fabrics in your city?
Is a business being birthed in your mind and heart this morning? Are you trying to remember where you put that huge back of clothes that your family no longer wears?
Do you know how to cut useable strips from those old clothes that someone or you....can use to create a new rug or wall handing or basket?
Or are you someone who thinks a lot about what fabrics are made of? Natural fibers preferred? Or are synthetics like polyester your choice?
May God bless your creativity and allow you to see some of the endless possibilities in what appears to be a simple item placed before you.
Peacefully productive,
Carla.
