Women of the Cloth

Textile artists using fibre, yarn, cloth & stitch to express their creativity. Feltmaking, weaving, dyeing, stitching. Love it!

Nothing Compares 2 U. Heart broken hearing the news of the passing of Sinéad O’Connor, such an inspiration

[Polly Clark @MsPollyClark]

Germaine Greer by Paula Rego at the National Portrait Gallery. Two female icons meeting on canvas. Greer has never, ever deviated, nor sold women out. She is the standard for feminism. Watch her eat Norman Mailer alive in the 1979 documentary Bloody Town Hall.
