Such a delicate piece of writing. So lovely to read.

Thanks, Etrigan. I'm reading Lauren Alwan's other pieces on Catapult now, and enjoying those as well.

Thank you, Etrigan. I’m working on displaying one of the few remaining pieces of my mother’s hand work, and incorporating some of her motifs in my own work. This piece encourages me further to pursue this.
