Walking Backwards

This is a really neat project that I heard of through one of my parenting boards.

I'm going to be sending in something as soon as I figure out which piece to choose. Here is a summary description from the website:

The Thread Project: One World, One Cloth is "materializing" the vision that we humans can learn to live in compassionate community with one another. Individual strands of threads, from thousands of people world-wide, are being woven into an ambitious work of art, symbolizing unity amidst diversity. The resulting tapestries, some of the most diverse ever woven, offer a moving and compelling visual of the beauty and richness of weaving our differences into a unified whole. The transcendent theme of the cloths implies that we are all tied together and, just as every thread makes a difference in the cloth, every person makes a difference in the world.

The tapestry that was already started looks awesome. I love this idea. I guess it doesn't help that I am so into fiber arts, mail art, and community projects.
