Spirit Cloth

three things

1. A ring

2. A nine patch

3.  Brown. Walnut to be exact.

Set in stone. At least that is what I have planned. Doodled at the moment because it is Wednesday. Maybe a small series. Just to see how these things might fit together in sympathy with one another.

There are stones everywhere actually.  They have just crept in as some sort of anchor. To keep me grounded.

this

 This is all I did with cloth today.

But it is Something.

placekeeping

I keep thinking about cloth as place.

I imagine it being happier as something useful.

I think of cloth as kind.

sunrise, more wind and stitch

I love how morning sun can color a cloth. Like a dip in a warm dye pot.  The wind is still howling. A few things were tossed about in the yard.

Wind can be so uneven, blowing here and not there, blowing fast here and slow there. Like stitch, there is tension in  wind.  One might meet it face on, go with it, use it  to keep going.

I might name this Blown Off Course but OK.  Then again, I could use that for just about anything I do.

wind

There is a big wind way up high today, just beginning to move in.  These kinds of wind storms come slow but can knock the power out here near the shore.

 

It is a chilly wind. But a refreshing wind. So far only reaching the ground now and then.  Along with a few violent snow flurries.

I like to listen as a big wind builds. Just wait. It can take a long time to feel it. You can hear it first. In the distance.
