Creating void
Recently I superglued two orange pom poms onto a pair of shoes. A couple of months later I hand sewed a grey pom pom onto a woolly hat. I used to do this sort of thing all the time. Rework a dress into a skirt, make a bag, write a comedy play, film a short […]

Whether the mother she is referring to is […]
