Hi Beth,
All I know is that I sent Dawn Redwood 2 of my Planet of Love patches and she said it "sparked the idea" for the skirt. That was 10 years or more ago and she said the skirt was years in the making, she asked mail art contacts all over the world to send her embroidered badges. Then, she lost the skirt while on a trip to Germany but after a while Peter Netmail found it and returned it to her!
I love the pic of you and your H.
Best wishes,
Denise
