Mbuti

Came across these at the back of a shelf this morning - examples of Mbuti bark cloths. They're made by the Pygmy tribes of the Congo. The one on the left inspired my quilt that was in the Fissures exhibition (the one I left behind on the train, which was recovered through the kindness of strangers!) -See more examples here. I love these kind of marks - they translate beautifully into hand stitch. A possible source for some small "Journey" pieces ...
