I didn’t know an iron could suddenly die. But it did right in the middle of a lovely afternoon of fusing down many many many small handcut silk pretend letters/symbols/code.

Pretend letters/symbols/code

Work on this new piece, You Are Here, has been flowing. Lots of technical challenges that usually really throw me but not this time! The silk and I were one.Kumbaya. Cutting and fusing and ripping off and re-fusing while listening to my favorite podcasts…

…and then-a cold iron.

But I’m still happy. I’ll buy myself a new one tomorrow. Meanwhile there are hours of stitching to be done.
