Spirit Cloth

A Little Holiday Cloth

6AM:So here I am, working through the technology issue the best I can. On Halloween.

I have to stick with smaller photos for the time being. Which means they cannot be enlarged. I am trying to put larger photos on Flickr but I see the gallery is not updating right away, we'll see. Maybe I will just  link the photos here to there. Ok I think that is working.

So a Pumpkin Patch. Nine for Halloween.

This was a gift and I love it.

Now and Then

 

 

Every once in a while I have trouble with Typepad.

Now is one of these times.

Over the past few days I have slowly lost the ability to upload photos.

They say they are working on it.

So see you when they figure it out.

 

 

Patchwork, Nine and Me

Nine. I have always been in love with nine. It' a magic number. But when configured as a nine patch it become a multi-layered symbol for me. It' a number, it's a square. it's patchwork. It's light and dark make it magic. It's a kind of basket. Well it is so many things really. In the last Diary Series, Small Journeys, I looked at nine a lot. At patchwork. I crated a lot of these little icons as links to these journeys in my posts. I liked them. I love packaging thoughts as symbols.  I call them Spirit Cloth Language...

as the collection they have become. Are becoming.

 

 

As I see these, the original nine patch is so many things but it is also, simply, my inspiration. It has and will continue to guide me.  Nine forever.  And the eye, a kind ot filter, looking through nine, allowing  that to expand my vision (the rainbow is that for me. That full spectrum, a full range of seeing)  and then the nine that has begun to flow, as one thing might become another. Or everything really.

I'll be 65 in February. I am trying hard to put together a Pictionary. After all these years. Starting from square 1.

I do believe if we learn each other's language, we will know each other better.
