New Pincushions

New pincushions!

I found old fashioned (reproduction) clamps to make the pincushions.
I include a tag with a slaves' name in remembrance, along with the city and/or state and year they were last on a manifest or will.




I will have these up on ETSY in the next couple of days!
More to come!

    I love your drawings....and am intrigues by thepincushions....but am uncomfortable sticking pins into a black woman. Am I seeing this wrong? They are stunning works of folk art!

      Hi Carrolyn. Thank you so much. No you are not seeing it wrong. I do "label" them as pincushions. For the most part those that buy them don't use them as pincushion; more as decorations in their sewing room.
