But different.
Looking though stacks of cloth last night, Thinking about how one reveals the other. But how the order never matters. Still a story. I'll be at Mom's till Tuesday with a camera, the cloth I call HOME, and hopefully a few quiet moments to stitch and take a few photos.

I am focused on one corner of this piece... a place where tradition has collided with some outside force. A newness. It is a meeting place that helps define both parts in terms of change, redefinition. I think about this a lot. How things seem to collide yet actually move though one another. Occupying the same space. It has occurred to me lately that redefinition might be a lot less about identifying difference and a lot more about recognizing and absorbing the consciousness of oneness.
I am on my way back home.
This piece, continued from here, is still developing. I have lost track of time really. But it is always the same moon, just a different point of view. It slowly changes. With my mood.
I also began a piece I will call Flower moon.
I've been doing that. Focusing on one moon at a time. What if I just worked on one piece and layered one moon over another? Make it all one thing. Maybe. Maybe next year. I am sure I will still be weaving across moons by then. And losing track of time. ( this piece has developed a bit since this post)
Thank goodness for season.
I am going outside on this first day of May to plant some more reminders.
Thin Linen.
You almost need two layers to see it. I could spend a lifetime looking at the world through this cloth.
Yes.
This cloth will have a story unfolding. Right now it is up my sleeve.
Speaking of thinness...
There seems to be a very thin line that separates us. No match for the tendency for hearts to pull together over time. This gives me hope.
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 :-)
