The grapes are happy. Which brought to mind this old doodle....
Garden Study 1 in progress. Layers of brown. Using some of winter's dyeing for new growth. In sympathy for season. This is the way most of the garden looks right now. (This cloth is continued here.)
I'm in the blue. Under the gentle guidance of the The Blue Fairy. Learning to layer the blues. I have 3 types of vats going.
And as always, my samples are gathering in groups of nine. Continuing my thoughts from way back here. Color keepers. The green was dyed over pomegranate.
And this is a beautiful post.
... for a moment, she puts the art back into it, makes it a potential conversation. Imagines a new form that might emerge as the result of some sort of exchange. Hopes that this might help her understand something. Maybe just one small thing. But of course, she will continue anyway.

A simple arrangement. In pinkish brown. Part of an old whisper.
One heart, two hearts, three hearts

i have added Debra Price's blog, Artisun to the sidebar list titled Tell the Children the Truth. Debra organized a teacher's blog, showing the work of her students. I think this is such a great idea... a classroom is like a ring of vision isn't it? Nice to see teaching and learning spinning out there in this big space of an internet.
If you are a teacher and have organized a blog focused around your students creative efforts, and would like to be listed here, please let me know.
I am thinking today that perhaps the ring might be a great place to start in putting all my magic feathers together. Today a ring could be a big hug-like thing.
