Magic and wings
Nebraska
This is the beginning of all the journeys .It was Mid Winter in Nebraska , I am with the oldest friend and we have a plan to get to Papillion- wings , a small town in the Heartland .
The land feels white and empty , a place where we can undo everything we know ,lose process.
We are looking for magic and we want to make wings.
we go lightly , I have silver ,gold fabric and my pin and needles . She has her t shirts and her letters. We are going to listen to everything and make everything in the moment

Judith in Chicago,, she blesses our trip. Judy was a former air hostess. Sasha makes her a t-shirt - 'it's hard being an air hostess when you clip her wings'. She makes us a nice dinner and sends us on our way.

We get out into the land and start making t shirts and capes .Sasha making 'This Land won't judge me' T shirt

The first person I made a dress for on this trip was this waitress at breakfast in Iowa. I had some gold fabric with me. We headed down to the basement to make dresses. Soon the other waitress, Phoenix, joins us. We all make dresses and we all make wings!
Wings!

The hotel room becomes a sketch book. I start to sew and cut the fabric into wings, capes, hoods and gloves. It all starts to feel quite magical, alive and breathing.

We head into a village called Papillion, following the lead of 'Wings'. We meet Rchard.
He shows us his life's work. He and his wife had rescued old broken dolls, painted and fixed them, New dress, new face.
