Early morning swarm
St. Anne's Well Gardens, Hove
"Swarm behaviour, or swarming, is a collective behaviour exhibited by animals of similar size which aggregate together, perhaps milling about the same spot or perhaps moving en masse." (Wikipedia)
Stitchtags are swarming this summer.
Many of us swarm towards the latest trends in fashion.
The life cycle of fashion starts with seasonal collections. We only see butterflies in the warmer months.
Fashion can be fleeting, like a butterfly some clothes and trends only last for a few days, some might survive a few months.
The old clothes used in swarm are undergoing a metamorphosis; finding a new life as seasonal, swarming butterflies.

you bobby dazzler
This current series of stitchtags is titled "Common Threads" and began with me thinking about inheritances and the things that get passed down through families; heirlooms, antiques, property, money.
When my grandparents died they had nothing like this to pass on. However, I was very close to them and knew a lot about them, their habits, their loves and hates, shared memories and their Yorkshire language and sayings. I wanted to create my own heirlooms from this shared history and pass it on.
