Remember how Hansel left white pebbles to mark the trail home? These shredded pieces of fabric mark the presence of a person, and a snippet of their story. Its only a piece, torn from the rest of the narrative, and so the person discovering it will create text to complete the story. And so it is a both a text and a fragment. Lately I've noticed discarded clothing, in bags or strewn next to a path, and cannot help but wonder if they are put there to mark that a person was there. Although they seem abandoned, could these be messages that alert passers by who know the code to welcome or warning? Like the Hobo Codes left on fence posts and telephone poles during the Great Depression, these may signify where to find a like-minded explorer, who rules this territory, or offer a glimpse of the neighborhood culture. Or maybe they are free-will offerings for the next traveler, when not useful to their owner any longer. Regardless of the intention, when these show up in your yard, or on your path to work or school, pay attention, they may be telling you something.   https://www.annacarlson.com/blog/2014/12/8/creative-place monthly 0.5 2014-12-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51f6b085e4b0ac6f6550249a/1418055683651-593MHI4GG00ZE7WCNIYJ/image-asset.jpeg wander + wonder - Creative Place A Print-maker made! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51f6b085e4b0ac6f6550249a/1418055452004-MD7CF5Y5G9H6TESIQ3M5/image-asset.jpeg wander + wonder - Creative Place Ivy Arts Building, appropriately named. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51f6b085e4b0ac6f6550249a/1418055275203-FTRK37GNDIFSL4G8N0T3/image-asset.jpeg wander + wonder - Creative Place The first day working in the studio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51f6b085e4b0ac6f6550249a/1418055954982-K6FAJQUN4UQ88TMHLKB4/AnnaCarlsonStudio wander + wonder - Creative Place https://www.annacarlson.com/blog/2014/9/12/next-life-project-2-kids-flag-printing-project monthly 0.5 2014-12-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51f6b085e4b0ac6f6550249a/1413816656591-3C8W4G0Z7P917N9KBD0U/all+are+welcome wander + wonder - Next Life: Project 2, kids flag printing project https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51f6b085e4b0ac6f6550249a/1413816774441-CYUX5VJ6678FN1SPKY2U/image-asset.png wander + wonder - Next Life: Project 2, kids flag printing project https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51f6b085e4b0ac6f6550249a/1412604428288-UAOPCB8Z5SFRABMPL7Z0/Flags wander + wonder - Next Life: Project 2, kids flag printing project https://www.annacarlson.com/blog/2014/8/12/textile monthly 0.5 2014-12-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51f6b085e4b0ac6f6550249a/1408742270941-PW5VDBU9MKBV318FBRYI/ACarlson+sample+book wander + wonder - Textile Texts A sample book to record and catalog my printed fabrics. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51f6b085e4b0ac6f6550249a/1408740830368-FWTIDZ75ERN71DS91J5G/textile+sample+book wander + wonder - Textile Texts 18th Century French sample book: http://florizel.canalblog.com/archives/2006/11/04/3069615.html https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51f6b085e4b0ac6f6550249a/1408556090407-QORGDPBUZAIDKOGJH01D/Ajarakh+fabric+book wander + wonder - Textile Texts Ajarakh sample book available from Slow Fiber Studio: http://shop.slowfiberstudios.com/collections/books/ajarakh-natural-dye-printing-cloth-book https://www.annacarlson.com/blog/2014/8/20/next-life-project-1 monthly 0.5 2014-12-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51f6b085e4b0ac6f6550249a/1408558277741-DCPNQWQDM7KTJF6ST5WW/ACarlson+DONT+SHOOT+1 wander + wonder - Next Life: project 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51f6b085e4b0ac6f6550249a/1408558469571-5RYTXDL7CYA9ELF7QJFZ/ACarlson+DONT+SHOOT+2 wander + wonder - Next Life: project 1 https://www.annacarlson.com/blog/2014/8/20/next-life-sorting monthly 0.5 2014-08-20 https://www.annacarlson.com/blog/2014/8/12/next-life monthly 0.5 2014-08-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51f6b085e4b0ac6f6550249a/1407954729771-4T0OOL7ENZWPF7FV7XV0/5+bags+of+used+clothing wander + wonder - Next Life https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51f6b085e4b0ac6f6550249a/1407954898380-KIB1AE9QPJCNHCUJB9F9/118+solid+color+t-shirts wander + wonder - Next Life 118 solid color t-shirts, sorted by color https://www.annacarlson.com/blog/2014/5/23/laying-in-the-sun monthly 0.5 2014-05-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51f6b085e4b0ac6f6550249a/1400873493005-QWOU5TDUTEGF76P5GQM0/Speculation+ACarlson2014 wander + wonder - Laying in the Sun Speculation [work in process], 2014.
