PILGRIMAGE OF STORIES AND STONES

Thistle

Thistle
2023
Silkscreened fabric, tartan, cording, interfacing, thread

I used the Ivy pattern, as well as a  grey-on-grey chain mail pattern. The purple top of the thistle is the Spirit of Scotland Tartan.

The Thistle is Scotland's National Flower, and is a symbol of strength, determination, and overcoming adversity.
It has been called the 'Herb of Witches' because  of it's alleged ability to deter witches
