Memory Veil was inspired by an old photo album I picked up on (where else!) eBay. It included a number of lovely small portraits from 1934-35 of
someone's friends and family from a seaside town in New Jersey. I sewed these old
photos, scraps of lace and fabric (some tea-dyed), and small pearlized buttons onto an old wedding veil. It is wearable.
Anyone feel like tying the knot?
(By the way, modeling the Memory Veil today is a beautiful little sculpture we've had for years by a local artist. We affectionately refer to as Zombie Boy...he looks quite fetching, no?)
ADDENDUM -- The Memory Veil was on exhibit recently at the 2016 Quilt & Fiber Arts Festival in La Conner, WA. Thanks for including me, La Conner!
