a parcel with a treasure inside...
yes it is an creature of wonder
a surprise swapped gift
from the prophet of bloom herself
it came complete with generous permission
to remake, rework and dream of possibilities...
honey hound took instant possession
proclaiming the creation highly kelpie-worthy
its perfectly suited to her colouring
making it wonderful for kelpie hide-and-seek...
other hounds can only dream of a cloak so fine...
it is a kelpie coat of many colours...
(I hate to break it to her that I have 'other' as yet unformed plans...)
....
Wow, Ronnie, it's beautiful! I love India's work and aspire to one of her workshops one day... I can't wait to see what you'll do with the dress. I'm sure I'd be very tempted to remake at least part of it into something I could wear myself! Have fun. Sara x
ReplyDeletesnap! I am wanting to get body and soul to a workshop *one day * I tell myself *one day* .... in the meantime I will stroke the dress...
DeleteOh my!!! What a gift that is. Now...for a photo of you wearing your India Flint original. Going to go ogle your lovely kelpie coat some more...
ReplyDeletemy chestage can't squeeze itself into the dress as-is.... hence I will be doing 'something' with the creation..... I rather like the idea of including my handy work with indias..... a whole new story can emerge don't you think? (and as I'm so short - I suspect I'll have oodles of cloth for another 'something-something'....)
DeleteEven better...a collaboration!
DeleteWonderful, wonderful! Sharing, exchange, collaboration....what a great gift. Have fun, I look forward to seeing your adaptions.
ReplyDeleteOh wow Ronnie - such potential! you will make a wonderful joined up Ronnie-India piece I am sure (and I must admit Idid think it might be a wee bit long for you in its current state : ) ) Perfect kelpie cover and I love how honey took up residence so swiftly!
ReplyDeleteand if it doesn't shape up...will make a splendid KelpieBed....
ReplyDeleteAn amazing gift/swap, Ronnie! Just to own an India creation is awe inspiring, to be able to recreate will be wonderful. Perhaps there will be a scrap left for honey hound to wear.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful gift and I am sure you, and honey dog will have much pleasure from it, stroking at this stage sounds lovely.
ReplyDeleteoh my, a Ronnie/India collaboration! this will be good to watch unfolding, we need Roz and India to do a workshop here in NSW don't you think?
ReplyDeletelovely, ronnie, and it will continue to transform, happily. i think india's garments have lives we only imagine.
