Everything is ready for the invasion. Cloudy and ice winds day one. Sunshile and warmth day two

 

                           

    

Första dagen hade jag 97 besökare, andra dagen, Påskafton med kortare öppettid 27.

Jag sålde några fredsduvor och broscher samt två vattenbärerskor. Många var intresserade av vårt arbete i Bheel Basti. Jag fick berätta om flickors och kvinnors liv, om de skolflickor som får gå i skolan med hjälp av svenska vänner och mycket mera.

The first day I had 97 visitors, second day was shorter, and sunny so there were only 27.

I sold some peace doves and brosches and a couple of Mahilas. 

Many were interested of our work in Bheel Basti. I could tell about life in the village and about how the empowerment is succeeding. People were also interested in the girls schooling and the support of Swedish friends.

KÄNSLOR - HJÄRTAN / FEELINGS - HEARTS

KVINNORNA BRODERAR KÄNSLOR

WOMEN MAKE EMBROIDERIES FROM THEIR FEELINGS

The other day these embroidered heats arrived in a photo - The women had got a new challenge to make an embroidered heart filled with feelings

Here are the questions I suggest for Kulvinder to give to the women, to try to get them think in the ways of colours and feelings and stiches. I just found this letter now I share it with you!

1)Why did this woman choose these colours. Does it mean something that she put the center 

heart in red colour? Notice that the change of stiches make a darker lila contour, tell her it´s very nice.

And the square patterns do they mean something? The contrasting yellow behind the squares- nice!

2) This is avery beautyful heart. I think it expresses sorrow. It is made in a simple and very effectful way

How did she think when she choosed theese colours and also decided to make the embroidery very 

plain and with only one sort of stiches.

3) Many colours used but in strict order. It seems to be a happy feeling but in a diciplined way.

As if she keeps the joy inside herself? And the bright blue part around keeps the joyful inner together.

I also see that the contour is made with some traditional stiches.

4) And why did this woman choose this colours? Ask her what she thought of!

To me it seems to be a very young and romantic heart!

5) Here the colours are very strong. Ask why she choosed theese colours.

In the center there is a very brave and determined heart. Who does she think 

of when she makes this? She also used theese traditional difficult stiches.

It looks a little like lace.

6) Ask who was in her mind when she choosed theese colours? I can guess that she had her children in mind?

In my eyes she has made a heart that expresses happiness, which is also spread out to others.

 

7) Why theese colours? She has made a small glowing heart deepest inside the dark blue ( night)

Very carefully made stiches. ( Is this heart about sorrow?)

8) Bright colours and playful dots. A joyful heart. Quite original in the way to compose.

I like the green jumping stiches upon the yellow, as to keep the joy in it´s place.
