Description:

Blackwork embroidery - black cotton thread on white evenweave. The Transmancer pattern is from Ex Librist. The Transmancer is the mage of transformation, and their motto is "Omnia Mutantur" which means "everything changes." As I stitched this, I thought about how people continually grow and change. I hope whoever receives this is growing into their true self.

Description: Handmade with love! This pillow is hand-embroidered with otton thread. It says "vita brevis est" which means "life is short" in Latin. The hand holds a delicate rose and the petals are floating away in the wind. The pillowcase itself is a cotton/linen blend - it's removable and has a zip closure. Spot clean recommended.

Dimensions: 17"x17"

Artist Statement: Love is love and I believe that everyone has the right to live their authentic life. GSAFE does important work in the Madison community to foster safe environments for LGBTQ+ students. This is my way of helping.
