Anastasia Smith: 24, sisterless and searching.

MY DEAR FRIENDS (who happen to be sisters), Annie and Alex Ensign, contributed this Easter gem to our “We Match” photo gallery. Apparently all these matching frocks and jumpers were made by their mother, and as the story goes, there are a lot more Ensign children than the ones pictured here–I think 12 in total. That’s a lot of sewing. Send your Easter photos to claimingsisterhood [at] gmail [dot] com.

I RECENTLY WROTE a post about siblings who match (you can catch up on it here), inspired by the mysterious photos of sisters Noreene and Maurine that thousands of people pored over on our homepage. Writing about that topic was too much fun to let go, so I’m featuring some of my favorite “We Match” photos in a slide show below. Some are of people I know, and some are of compelling strangers from Flickr. [click to continue…]

ME AND BROTHER T, IN THE BIG CHAIR.
First time here? Here's the idea: The Sister Project is a network of blogs about the many facets of the word sister, and the concept of sisterhood. A sisterhood of sister blogs, you could say. Whatever sister means to you, from identical twin to sister-in-law (or in friendship or in feminism), we’ll make room to listen in about it or express it on TSP. Like the slogan up top on our homepage says, “Don’t you have something to say to your sister?” We've got galleries of art and literature by and about sisters, and a Sisterpedia of sisterly trivia...but now we're getting ahead of ourselves. The quick study: Learn more about TSP, and how to find your way around. And oh—a giant, sisterly welcome.
No surprise, really, that sisterhood, often life’s longest relationship and always one of its most important, has been the Muse for so much creative self-expression by women, and also by men.
TSP’s Galleries were created to show off that outpouring of art and craft, poetry and prose. Come see a show or two—no ticket required, no lines to get in—and suggest others whose work we ought to showcase.
As the suffix of its name suggests, TSP's Sisterpedia is the reference section, one we’re hoping you’ll help us grow to maturity by adding your knowledge in the comments. Turn us on to new facts and figures, whether for the branch of our ‘library’ called Sistory (history from a sister point of view, from the Muses of ancient Greece to 60s Girl Groups and beyond) or the one called Sibling Science (what makes sisters tick, genetically and behaviorally). Or just click around and have a good read. See you there.
