Hand cut and stitched reclaimed wood with a row of white reclaimed beads. The wood has been scorched with an inlaid square and marked by scraping into it, Shou sugi ban style.
She has waited at least 2 years to be taken from the ranks.
Thin Long Yellow was destined for fire wood.
Thank you Kuba Textiles, again!
Suddenly I saw what she was waiting for.
A dark patch.
Tribal markings.
Beads and
a tiny bit of red.
This piece is approximately 30cm × 10cm. Prop upon a shelf or hang on a wall.
Zoe writes, "I love using found objects. And white. White used in many traditional African textiles. A colour of surrender, holding light and hope. Counting time. Marking time."

Commissioning a piece of work is really exciting – it is a chance to have something made especially for you and an opportunity to really engage in the creative process.
Perhaps you need accessories to go with a particular outfit or a piece of furniture to fit a specific space in your home. We can work with you to design something truly unique. You’ll be able to discuss your ideas, likes and dislikes with the Maker and together create a piece of craft, handmade for you.
This is just a first step, so don't worry, there’ll be plenty of chances to discuss details before finalising a commission.
