Maria’s once humble potholders are steadily evolving into a new kind of art form. She takes vintage hankies and tea-stains them through a process I can’t explain, but she can. She is double-stitching and using different kinds of threads, plus she has this beautiful idea about tree potholders. I love  watching these potholders evolve, they are a mirror of her wonderful imagination and artistry. Tea Stained Vintage Potholders. Who would have thought. I am  surely not unbiased, but I think this work is incredibly beautiful and evocative. You can see more of them here. I would want to hang them on my wall, were it up to me.
