SOLIDARITY!
Words to Consider
- The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it. – Henry David Thoreau
- Man will never be truly free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest. —Denis Diderot
- The comfort of the rich depends upon an abundant supply of the poor. —Voltaire
- "They tell us that we live in a great free republic; that our institutions are democratic; that we are a free and self-governing people. That is too much, even for a joke. ... Wars throughout history have been waged for conquest and plunder... And that is war in a nutshell. The master class has always declared the wars; the subject class has always fought the battles." —Eugene Victor Debs
- When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the morning light, for your life and strength. Give thanks for your food and the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies in yourself. —Tecumseh
- i do it for the joy it brings / because i am a joyful girl / because the world owes me nothing / and we owe each other the world / i do it because it's the least i can do / i do it because i learned it from you / i do it just because i want to / because I want to —"Joyful Girl", Ani DiFranco
- "Nothing living should ever be treated with contempt. Whatever it is that lives, a man, a tree, or a bird, should be touched gently, because the time is short. Civilization is another word for respect for life." - Elizabeth Goudge, author of The Joy of the Snow
- "There is nothing I can give you, which you have not; But there is much, very much, that while I cannot give it, you can take. No heaven can come to us unless our hearts find rest in today. Take heaven! No peace lies in the future which is not hidden in this present instant. Take peace! The gloom of the world is but a shadow. Behind it, yet within reach, is joy. . . . And so, at this time, I greet you. Not quite as the world sends greetings, but with profound esteem and with the prayer that for you now and forever, the day breaks, and the shadows flee away. " (Fra Giovanni 1513 A.D.)

Kate Sings the Star-Spangled Banner
So, this is what became of the head-and-hands . . . the idea occurred to me over the weekend of the Fourth, and, finally, here she is!
She's made from Jill Maas' pattern "High Octave Hester." As usual, mine doesn't look precisely like the pattern, but I like her.
Materials are quilters' cotton for the dress, craft velour (wrong side to) for her head, bust and arms; and odds and ends of beads, some polyester georgette for her scarf, and a scrap of some other polyester for her headdress.
