I put myself in the place of 'the old woman'
and asked myself,
"What are the things with which I am overwhelmed?"
and
"How do I respond to these aspects of my life?"
I found this a wonderfully therapeutic and healing contemplation.

Blythe is the second in a series of dolls called 'The Old Woman in a Shoe'.
Nursery rhymes are fascinating. We chant them as children without knowing their history or significance. "Old Woman in a Shoe" hasn't a clear origin but is often assigned to the wife of George 2nd of England, who ruled her large family with an iron rod. Aida is the first, the prototype, for a new series called 'The Old Woman in the Shoe".
I was given a box of hand-crafted terracotta boots, each about 5cm high. I wanted to honour the gift, the giver, and the craftsmanship. I wanted to add to the story of these boots, to accompany them for a while on their journey. |
