maps & microbes
inspire leah evans
as she stitches her quilts.
and even though these are mostly maps
i can see the influence of the microbes.
{ water tendrils seems like dendrites }
and it touches me that she uses a
household-grade sewing machine
and not a commercial-grade.
it's a nice reminder
to not put off projects
until you have the perfect tool.
dive in and get started.

maps are so beautiful.
ReplyDeletethey remind you of the vastness, and diversity in our lands.
one day, i hope to travel by map, finding myself lost through untrammeled mud.
beauty!
hope to hear from you*

amy, such lovely eloquence in your words. i love maps too... how they are intimate and ethereal all at once.
ReplyDeletefingers crossed for your future travels. xo.
maps have such a way of drawing me in, love these stitched versions. i keep seeing neat map-style stitching that makes me want to try it myself, but i don't know that i could live up to these other incredible pieces.
