The project collected handkerchiefs from around the world, all embroidered with the line uttered in a matter-of-fact manner by a soldier-for-hire from Africa, "In a war, someone has to die." (Read more about it here.)

The collection has been exhibited several times, most recently as part of the miniTex14 exhibition at the Rundetaarn in Copenhagen.
I was excited to find my pink, scalloped handkerchief on the wall, embroidered with my mother's beautiful handwriting, in Spanish, her first language.

I want to go to Denmark to see the whole exhibition! In the meantime, here is a video about it, with lots of wonderful images.
I was excited to see mine in this most recent photo set too! I wish I could see in in person, I'd love to look at each one in detail.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's so cool, Lisa! Happy we worked on the same project. Now, let's go to Denmark!
