Mysterious Emotions

“The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious - the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science.” 
― Albert Einstein



 I have been exploring the possibility of using a throw-away portion of most pieces of fabric.
There have been some who have used the selvages of fabric  (selvage : a ) the edge on either side of a woven or flat-knitted fabric so finished as to prevent raveling; specifically : a narrow border often of different or heavier threads than the fabric and sometimes in a different weave); such as this clever girl :

This is exquisitely done !!  
I have been using selvages in a different manner.  I guess you might call it coiled textiles.
Still working on the possibilites but here is a peek at what I have been experimenting with.

Maybe it isn't  "true art"  yet.....but it has elicited a " mysterious emotion".

    I am a fabric/textile artist.  I love hunting for fabric, new or re-purposed, to use in my 
    fabric collages.  The fact that I am also a seamstress makes it convenient as I have already accumulated quite a stash of fabric from my years of sewing.  Welcome to my  "material world" !
