By combining a Japanese influenced design with a traditional Provencal needle work technique of Boutis, Sakura Blush tells a story and celebrates the cross cultural nature of needle arts. (Especially when I, the maker, am neither French nor Japanese.)
To celebrate the season, “The Silk Purse Arts Centre” at Ambleside Beach holds an annual cherry blossom exhibit. If in the neighbourhood of Vancouver between April 3rd - 28th, please check out the current exhibit, where “Sakura Blush” is one of the textile pieces on display.
