Thread Offerings ~~
Thanks to the thousands who have taken the time and effort to contribute a thread to The Thread Project: One World, One Cloth. Without you there would be no cloth.
Thread Ambassadors ~~
Your enthusiasm and efforts are greatly appreciated. Not only have you introduced others to The Thread Project: One World, One Cloth, you are helping us to reach our goal of weaving the threads into cloth more quickly.
Photography ~~
Special thanks to Alex Beard for the generous use of several photographs.
Special Thanks to Clay Artist Susan Ryles ~~

Clay artist Susan Ryles will be making over-sized clay buttons to attach the panels of the World Cloths. Since the name of the first World Cloth is Hope Materializing, Susan will be etching the word hope, in many languages, onto the buttons.
Susan writes, “I am honored to be a part of the Thread Project: One World, One Cloth. I hope my contributions in clay will enhance the theme of unity through diversity to the viewers of these cloths.”
Susan acknowledges, “There is something very primal and grounding about working in clay. I love creating out of the earth itself. The final product is never perfect and I see this as a metaphor for how we can develop character and become beautiful, despite our imperfections.”
