Spirit Cloth

Time for a quiet weekend

Cloth will rest.   TV is off.   Wood  will be split,  garden tended to,  walks taken .   Bird feeders up.  Leaves will fall down.   Plans for a  road trip to look for america over tea.

weaving dreams

 

And so it goes that Weave overtakes my direction in cloth. On loom or off. Weave is there. 

Cloth to Cloth, Thread to Cloth, Thread to Thread. Whatever. Weave is there.

I am off for a Birthday pause. I will be weaving some thoughts together, see you Tuesday.

reconstructing fullness

So before dawn, by lamplight, I sat and stitched, remembering the light of the full moon, and waiting for sunrise. It was so dark. It rained so hard, I had to imagine the sound of the needle as well.  But I left a trail, evidence that it all really happened for me, just like that.

Once I had recaptured the shape of the full moon's light, I had fun bending it. I like that about cloth. Its flexibility.  Now that I told you, you know that much more about me and what I like about cloth.

I have set about trying to be less confusing about things.

(If it interests you, this piece is continued from here.)

4:42 PM:

So today it seems I am just feeling sure about some things. Life seems simpler and my direction stronger. Tomorrow we will be celebrating being sure, an anniversary.  We will pull the plug  for a couple of days...making time and space for some  walking and conversation  and dreaming and planning the future.  We decided we will only eat fruit. I will be back Sunday.

I constructed the piece above quickly today,  with the idea that it might represent a ring of vision, and a transition, a way of looking though my current work toward some change that I really have no words for right now. 

On second thought... maybe not Sunday....we'll see.

Later.

 

arranging things

today i added a cornerstone. and then 3 more. because it seemed to anchor the thing. hold it down. keep it from blowing away in the wind.

i am noticing the color arrangement has offered a warm side and i am focusing on that today while i am at mom's.  the big chill continues.

but the sun is out. warm and cool, another kind of natural order. very related to light and dark i think.

i will have many house guests about to arrive and no way to spend time at the computer for a while. i am taking a break and will be back in about 2 weeks.  maybe a photo here and there if i can manage. i will probably fall behind posting the feathers that come floating in. see you later.

storm break
