not knowing
what to do with herself,
turning to paper

cut….cutting,
turning, folding, becoming
a dancing girl

I’ve always loved clothes.  And for many years, way back in my 20’s, I sewed and sewed to great satisfaction. I found pleasure in the many facets of the cut, the drape, or the cling of clothing. I loved fabrics, their colors and textures, the feel in my hands of silks, of cottons, of rayon, wool, and linen.  I enjoyed simply browsing around for fabrics and buttons, too. I had quite a collection. Now trading fabrics for paper, I can again find endless pleasure making all the clothes a girl could ever want!
