Spirit Cloth

Alignment in a night sky

 

This cloth continued from here.

Just to backtrack a bit

So I did work a bit on this cloth in the background, sharing some of the progress over at Spirit Cloth Diaries.... I wanted to share a post here with those who were not in that class,  and now that I am dedicating this place to the first  Magic Feather Cloth I am calling HOME. (there is a category for it here if you want to look back further).  I am planning to put all this fragmented documentary together  in a format from start to finish, but things got a bit jumbled up over this long hard winter.

So just to look back....

In October, ( right about when i posted here) I put it up on the wall. And I did a bit of talking...

And then  a little bit more.

As mentioned in the video.... that night, I stitched some thread beads. To define the rotation of dark and light in the big X.  I will be adding a lot of these as a filler. Even more than I did on the Magic Cloth.  When I lifted the heart, in the lamplight, the beaded wings, again amazed me.

Because of the tactile quality,  I think some sort of "braille" butterflies will be great in some of the open space.

the first time

 

Last night, right before a big rain and a huge wind, there was a white sunset.  Never remember that.  Maybe it struck me because I have been thinking about white a lot.  Looking for it.  That white band  just reminded me of the emptiness than can move through us. Sometimes.  Like, well, not nothing, but nothing we can recognize.

I couldn't sleep after thinking that.  So I lay there for a while and then got up and  drew this while it was still doodle Wednesday.  

And then I fell into a dream. Which I can't remember.

I find it useful to record first impressions if I can.  Before considering  too much. 

and then

 

 

Cloth on a sunny day

 

The winged shirt  is still in process

leftover from a workshop.

I  like it as a curtain.

I am simply exhausted from  being outside prepping the soil for planting tomorrow.  It was a very sunny day.  The windows were open for the first time since autumn.
