I finally wrote up a series of stories my mother wrote to celebrate her sister Dawn’s 50th birthday. Dawn hasn’t yet seen the book, as mum is now in re-draft mode. I tidied it up, moved things around and added some family photos for her to give her more prompts. It may never move further than that.
Here’s a video of the original book.
In the book she mentions five different dresses that she had growing up. Usually made by her mother or grandmother. I used this as inspiration for my dresses series which you’ll find below. I started with five dresses, but then got enchanted by the paper dresses, and then interested in what dresses mean to me and others, so here’s a whole series.
