Ripped Lace: the fight and the freedom of art Susan Devine Napoli

Ripped Lace is a symbol for, and part of, a new creative life that this author planned over six years. If you have ever thought of running off and doing your own thing, here is one woman who did. With care and planning and an anthem song or two, she moved slowly to a more truthful authentic life of creativity she dreamed of. She tells the story of botched starts, recovering her creativity, her new creative life, and reflections throughout. It is more than just her painting, sewing, and writing. It is about creating something she is proud of. Her art is an example of how she makes beauty from the tattered, with both freedom and fight.
