Spirit Cloth

Another Spring here.

Being outside will be very important to me this time around.

Dandelion. Maple flowers.

I'll stick to solar dyeing. Bits of old silk. Make a little cloth. Eventually. Maybe call it the the Last Spring. Here of course.

Cloth Again

So I've begun. Again. In sympathy with a new season that came to be. Eventually.

Because that never seems to stop being the way it is.

Cloth

C is for cloth.

And more specifically Cloth Stories. For I have a special relationship with it.

It was a strange coincidence that this morning (raining the spring kind of rain by the way) with bzzz welling up in me again, after deciding to start again, to build the glossary (at Feel Free), and deciding to start with Cloth...(I looked up cloth and of course I find the same old thing. Woven or felted (and sometimes knitted) fabric which is so hollow really)

...I searched then for "the nature of cloth". For that is what interests me. The nature of a medium. And I ran right into my own post from 2010.

It's been a long time since I took a photo like this. There are a few scattered through the blog. I'll find them eventually.  Cloth is close to skin. It seems human. It holds together yet it still moves and flows and responds to touch like nothing else. It is useful in such a soft way. To begin with, it is a human wrapping cloth. And I could go on. And I will.

I intended to make an audio about the Glossary/Spirit Cloth Language thing for today but the batteries on my recorder are dead. So let's save it for tomorrow.

Why do you like working with cloth? Or not.
