Recently I had the opportunity to contribute to this great online exhibition , The Meaning of Things by Craft Victoria. In The Meaning of Things, Craft presents a vibrant cabinet of curiosities showcasing eclectic objects and artworks from makers’ personal collections. Accompanying stories share a glimpse into each object’s significance. Exploring objects as vessels of emotion and meaning, The Meaning of Things presents pieces that are either handcrafted or connected to handmade practice. Objects include treasured pieces, much loved tools, found objects by unknown makers, family heirlooms and gifts from fellow makers! In case you missed it, haven't seen it yet , here is the link ( below) 
I submitted my grandmother's cup and a piece of embroidery made by my mum Myrtle Grace. You can check out my contribution from this link : Grandmother's cup or click the image above.
