Just waiting for it to snow.
Before it, shortly after, rains.
Filled the feeders. Stacked wood on the porch and indoors. Went to the market at dawn to avoid the storm rush.
Now, stitching. Can't believe there was no Snow Globe on this one. This is my winter robe now. So many layers. Toasty.
That Robe. Continuing.
Robe weather is approaching.
To catch them. The symbols.
And repair at the same time.
The magic dot. Was #1. The first consciousness of component/symbol as a way to build story cloth...
Just one old example... and a new way of doing it with a loose dyed patch. A dot is a place to begin.
The need to make it more human has come over me.
The bird robe, it needs mending.
And I think it might be a home for all my symbols. A way to carry them. Forever. For surely this garment will outlive me.

Notes:
Feel Free is alive and well and the format will be finalized soon.
I am considering one final online workshop before I walk off into the sunset. If you are interested send me an email. And specify your contact email. I will be putting together a newsletter with details. This one is not free, but free enough.
I reopened the Spirit Cloth Shop to sell some finished work and clear some space for new work. Updates are twice a month with the new and full moon. Loose dyed patches and supplies will still be available at ThreadCrumbs until I run out of scraps of self.
