I'm not sure I have said a lot about this cloth, although it has been in process for quite a while. I stitch on it once in a while. I did a little more. Maybe for Earth day. It uses a lot of the browns I dyed last year. It has the feel of earth to me. Some kind of natural order. With a little bit of the unexpected. I think I will leave most of the empty space.
I need to be away for a few days. With Mom. I have my sidewalk cloth , a little something that formed over at Diaries. A new path I seem to be on. To honor the time-worn ones.
I am looking forward. And back. Hanging out in between. Funny how that place between the two is always a new place.
This post follows the making of a special story cloth. You can read more about the Magic Feather Project by clicking the tab in the top menu bar. Or by using the category for HOME , the link to the making of this cloth, in the sidebar or under the post.
There is truly significance for me, for this project, in the bringing of all these pieces together. The challenge of making one piece, one peace, from the diversity in approach, highlighting the One-ness in intention. And so blending is my focus. But still honoring the individual creativity of the maker.
This video was made during Spirit Cloth Diaries, when I was planning the wings and the blending process....
There is such a journey ahead of me still. UN-stitching the edges, reweaving them into a web with a bit of my own techniques touching them all. And another layer of feathers to add in between things. Weaving them in as well I think, where I can. There are still so many feathers here.
I once imagined, that all these little feathers, might fly in and touch one another in some special way, with my help. And through some sort of sympathetic evolution, would transform into some new vision that might change the way we see one another. Create a new sense of Home for those among us that need shelter from the storm.
I am sorry that many folks are having problems commenting. It is a Typepad issue and I cannot fix it. Maybe just an opportunity for some quiet time :-)
