i want to find a glove box that i can wrap in the remainder of this paper. so, there might be an after, after.
ReplyDeleteI will keep an eye out for a glove box. (If you can get more of the seance paper or an accent color, it may be nice to cover the glove box or the lid of it)
ReplyDeleteI love this, those gloves, the stitching (you better wear those to some kind of opera, girl), the seance paper. What a perfect sustained moment. This is the "unpacking" of a phrase.
As I heard someone say once, Jesus, girl, how were you made so lovely?
This post makes me want to dance and go to the opera and make things. I am teaching a class on collaboration today and I am holding these gloves in my head as the guiding image.
ReplyDeleteAlso, my grandma's first job was in a factory in the Bronx sewing fancy lady gloves.
Also, why don't I have a pair of fancy lady gloves? Why don't we all?
amazing.
