Unraveling an old weaving to reuse the paper fiber for a new weaving

I had kept an old weaving around for several years, knowing I would never show it again. The other night I looked at it and took it apart. This was a first, even for me, I unraveled a weaving to use the paper yarn for another weaving.
I do love to recycle and reuse!

My entry for Patchwork Healing Blanket

Drudgery

Mothers are Flowers

These are my 2 patches. They are handwoven with cotton and linen. 

The first plain one is called Drudgery. I was thinking of daily chores Woman perform for their families without complaining. Their lives are plain and go on from early morning till late at night.

The second one is called: Mothers are Flowers.

Woman give themselves to their daily activities and become the beauty in the lives of their families. They blossom in taking care and giving to their children. There are a few strands of colors in the piece where mothers provide over their expectation. The red thick stripe is for their sacrifice for their families. The small red line symbolizes how they are forever connected to their children.
