FROM CECA.

Received from Ceca in Bulgaria, December 12.

I met Ceca in Graz, Austria in 2006 where we both were invited by Renate Maak, to represent ouer country as exhibitors and speakers at the International Tapestry Symposium.
Ceca is represented at the wellknown browngrotta arts gallery.
You can purchase Ceca's beautiful bracelets at etsy and follow her process and work at her blog.

Ceca says this about her work;
"Working with natural materials not only brings me joy but also much wisdom. In even the smallest piece of grass there is incorporated history, meaning and purpous. I constantly marvel nature. I admire and learn from her genius "installation" of design, color, smell and light ...
It is a great challenge to enter in her laboratory and to be able to add my own thing."

I am now the happy owner of a unique bracelet made from Ceca. This is just one of the amazing things she sended me in her textile letter. 
It is made of cotton cord embroidered and putted together with oak acorn. Absolutely amazing.
The datails is stunning.
Even the packing were one of a kind. It was wrapped inside the letter with Ceca's handwriting on.
I always get so excited when receiving a textile letter, that I often forget to take a first picture of the envelop before opening.
Inside the letter was three small papers put together; photos of "The Garden -installation".  
Made out of pressed petals and leafs, a kind of room dividers were made. The light have many possibilities for playing.
Another project is "Textile in Nature" eco-art symposium founded by Ceca Georgieva in 1994. This land art is beautiful.
Dear Ceca, I want to thank you for this amazing presents. When I open the package at the postoffice I got so happy.
I look forward to wear it on Christmas evening and afterwards I will have it at my studio, so I can treasure it every day.
