Making something about loved ones
In this posting, I picked up past works about my family.
I wove a tapestry about my dog, Hana. I wove Hana and me, but my daughter says it is Hana and her. ↑
Hana was born in Chicago, lived in Tokyo for a while, and moved to Vancouver Island. ↑

My daughter looked vulnerable in the incubator, in which she had to live for more than 100 days. ↓
We believed in her life force, and she made it. ↑

I painted my husband. It looks like he is praying, but is sleeping. ↓

I made a performance art piece about my father who left lots of love to us. I will make another piece soon. ↓

My father’s mother and I were the best of friends. ↓

This was a wonderful story and we surely understand how you feel. The weaving of Hana and you/Naona is so well done. I love the detail. Very beautiful!
Thank you!
