CUTTING FABRICS FOR STORY ROPES

My friend, Amanda (in black), came over this morning with students, Dante'yh (in blue) & Careece (in yellow).

We worked on getting the strips ready for 'story-rope' making when I go to Africa. Together we chose fabric scraps, ironed & cut strips - lots and lots of strips of African fabrics.* Thank you, ladies! We got so much accomplished!

Amanda will be bringing the girls back. I want to hear more about their hopes & dreams for the future, show them my art work & probably make some collages.

*the African fabric scraps are from my seamstress friends at Amani Ya Juu (peace with God) the Christian sewing cooperative for marginalized women in Kigali, Africa.
