no 29

I would just like to give something back to all the lovely people who continually inspire me and my work. This is from my little geisha collection no 29, they start life as little mono prints that I have embellished with silk, ink, stitches and jewels. I have been leaving some of them at bus stops, in cafes in books in book shops everywhere and anywhere. I am a great believer in fate so whoever finds them was meant to have one. It is lovely to receive the stories from where and how people have found them. I never name them they are always just numbered the name giving is the job of the finder. I would like to invite you to leave a message on my blog by 30th September with a name for no 29 and who's ever name is pulled out of the hat, she shall be yours.
Sew scrumptious your name was picked out of the teapot she will be winging her way to you as Isabella.

    So beautiful - how comes I missed your work? Love the geisha look & japanese dolls/ kokeshi.

    "Takara" would be my choice, she is a treasure for anyone who gets to keep her :o)

    I would love to find one of your geishas, maybe fate will smile on my one day. I would call her Poppy because of the red flower in her hair and the colour of the print

    I'd call her Sabina, just because I think she looks like a Sabina. Even though it isn't a Japanese name.
