Working with a punch needle is fun, especially because you have to work on the “wrong” side, so really you don’t know how it will be until you turn it up. I think it came out quite good, a little different!

It was fun to weave this tapestry, because I had a specific a pallette of colors. I just worked without really thinking how it was going to be (as usual) . The result is good, I like it! Using different materials is fun.
I chose the name that sounded nice in the Zulu language, from South Africa, that means “I am here to be seen”. I think it is appropriate!

It was so much fun to invent the flowers! As usual I just go with the flow to see what is going to happen, and there it is! I think that the name is good!
