Misao Wada


My second class in Nantes was with Misao Wada, I never heard of her before. In the Quiltmania number 80 I read this:
She is a Japanese who is famous in her country both for her poetry and for her textile work.
She started working with textile when she was 20 years. From her teacher, a great japanese textile artist, she learnt how to combine the subtlety of a detail within the technique of practical raw applique by free hand cutting each piece (no templates) She only works with old kimono fabric. I show you two pages from this Quiltmania number with her work.



Here is she in Nantes looking at my work.....

And this is what i made ....

These lotusflowers were beautiful, the picture does not do it justice....
