Pandemic Style
The Covid-19 Pandemic meant isolation.
Many people turned to Zoom to meet for work and socializing. The Art Cloth Mastery class I am taking with Jane Dunnewold, started a weekly zoom meeting to stay in touch, and to continue with our lessons.

Having this community of like minded artists has made a big difference in my life.
Another of our weekly meetings. |
I started making masks back in March but I soon found a pattern I liked to make best, and so I have been making a lot of masks. Mostly for my family, but also a few friends too.
Batik fabric has a dense thread count but is still breathable.
One of my daughters requested masks of cute cartoon characters. My daughter-in-law's mother is a nurse and wanted masks with nursing/medical images. |
I ordered this elastic late one night back in March,
it finally arrived in July. It had to take a barge from China to get to me.
I also ordered elastic from a couple of other companies.
I now have enough elastic for the next pandemic as well!
My youngest daughter will be getting married in September, so she made herself a special mask. |
Crazy Covid hair! |
