I've been struggling with how to make my art meaningful and of real service to people. Somehow scarves, even hand painted silk scarves such as I make, don't seem ....well, they seem like just a luxury. How can they REALLY make a person's life better or help her through life challenges? Amy Wilson Cavaness gave me these encouraging words:
Take it from me---sometimes a beautiful piece of fabric wrapped
around my body means a great deal to me----the colors touch me
in some emotional way, I feel beautiful, I feel special, I'm able to express
something about myself by the way I wear it----a beautiful scarf
isn't necessarily "just a luxury". Even plaques with words on them
really have no meaning unless those words mean something special
to an individual at that moment.
Thank you, Amy.
Thank you, Suzanna! Your scarves truly are beautiful and hold potential for meaning for many.
