For some time now, I have been trying to make a rope…
This tapestry was a gift to our family from a friend who was working in Afghanistan last year.
He said, “maybe you could make something out of it, like pillows!”
“Hmmmm…Afghanistan,” I said,
“we’ll make Rock the Healing cuffs!”
We took them to San Francisco in February!
And it was a sort of rebirth!
With the fringe from that tapestry, I’m now trying to make this rope.
It still needs some work.
Maybe Sparrow…
