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.
