An exhibition piece finished

We are edging closer to the deadline for our exhibition and I think we're petty much on track so far.  I have one piece sitting around waiting to be made but no others that seem to need to be made just yet, so I hope that I am on the home straight now.

I finished this piece on Saturday and am happy with how it ended up. It is simple, elegant and filled with quiet strength.

Peace within Chaos is its name and it stands testament to that possibility.


The covers are very soft leather - with some circles embedded underneath. Tied with a simple bow.


The chaotic swirling is interrupted by a narrow band of quietness...


Encouraging us to find peace within the chaos, to know that in amongst the hurly burly of it all, we can be still and quiet and know peace.






Within the knot of chaos lies a perfectly woven peace - Fiona Dempster 2013.

  1. I absolutely love this - wish I could see it in 'real life'. It just speaks so loudly / quietly to me. Thank you for sharing it here.

    1. Hi Cally - and thank you for visiting. It's wonderful to think that it can talk to you across the miles and thru the interweb; a shame that you can't get to see or hold it, but it does manage to speak quietly and loudly and encourage us to find those quiet places I think...

    1. Thanks Jo - I'm glad you can hear it speaking all the way over there! It is simple and yet has a sense of quiet gravitas I think. Travel safe and enjoy!
