Spirit Cloth

a moonlit night

...so now there is a moon...

...and a story forming. i don't think i will sleep tonight.

the next generation

i was remembering the moon faced rabbits from a while ago. they live with mom. it's that time again. 

she's back

...and there she is... ...on the edge of a spring breeze... a lot of silk on this one.  and some words are creeping in. so far...wish.  i think wind is next.  a new season contains some kind of wishing for me. and wishing is something like wind. something gently moving through your mind. like the dust being lifted off something.

the quilt as a storybook

one of my favorite quilts was the tree house quilt. unfortunately i lost most of the detail photos in a computer accident. my photos were rather poor back then in 2006.  the private blog i kept going to document the making was deleted in one of my down swings. and it was a gift, i gave it away so i don't have it anymore. one of the things i like about it, besides the fact that it was my first quilt woven piece, was its story book style... and how i experimented with little pages that lifted off the cloth to reveal secret chapters belonging to the characters (shown here, the fruit goddess in progress). so.  today, i am re-energized by the memory of this cloth and its story border.  so much so, that i want to use this technique once again to add story to the  magic cloth. recycling this idea to redefine it a bit. around the edge. stories are like edges to me. i think the pages can be a series of revelations. a series within one piece. maybe i will experiment a bit on some smaller pieces first. a mini series

...and i thought this was interesting...

stitching weather

...there was no sun today, so i stitched one.
