Working working working ...
Saturday, January 3, 2009 at 08:49PM The stars are aligned, and my studio is crowded but effective. I have made three men in the last few weeks. I am not showing the full quilts till they are exhibited but thought I would let you glimpse the men who are starring in them! You have seen Hassan the Glassblower, but I am putting him in again for comparison.
I just need two more clear months - but the quilts have to be finished on the 23rd January and that is why you are not hearing from me at the moment.
Attayer in the Friday Market at the City of the Dead
And an 'in-progress' image of the quilt top (which is now finished and pinned)
And last - Mohamed, who makes carved and gilded furniture in the streets behind Al Atabah
And hang in until the end of January and I will put all of them up! Quilted and finished.
At the moment only Hassan is at that point.
Happy New Year everyone.

Hi Jenny: I was so happy to see you are posting again. I can't wait to see your new pieces finished. Your work is beautiful and inspiring. I visited Cairo last year and fell in love with the place and especially the people. I hope to go back someday.
