Spirit Cloth

just something sketchy

Gosh, I better get on it, I have a lot of talking to do before I forget.

It's warmer, birds chirping as if spring is around the corner. Wait, actually it is. Let's think like that.

The Forever Zone is on track.

there was time for thoughts

There was a 4 hour wait, in the hospital. 

Kindly, they gave me a private place to wait. I considered limitation. I tried to make a recording but the double mask was limiting.

All went well and it is just a matter of time. And stuff to do. My dental pain has gone which makes it all seem smaller.

No time for talking but I did come away with limitation is the cornerstone of form.

I also spent a moment thinking about the difference between a Doodle and a Drawing. I call the difference a Joodle. But that is mighty personal as a word. I'll get to it.

Today I will attempt to switch my email service for blog posts. I do not know what will happen. I will attempt to migrate the mailing list. We will see.  You may have to subscribe again if you stop getting my posts. All I can say is whatever. 

I will be going forward with the final part of Patchwork in Perspective. Everything in Perspective. All I can say again is whatever. Soon enough.

The last few months have been filled with so much sad news. At least a new season is around the corner. 

snow day

The dental thing was/is a nightmare.

But the snow is nice.

The world became a sketch.

And so did the cloth...

There are pain killers and I am quite loopy.

But I do like what happened here. What if Loopy can be useful?

Paper is part of 2022 and beyond. As well as weaving. I want just to think of them as new layers. I am putting together some ideas in order to continue my final (forever) chapter over at Feel Free. Please subscribe there for news about that or check the sidebar on this blog for links to the Feel Free Newsletter. I am forever storming, best done when you are loopy, perhaps. Tomorrow I will try to catch up with comments.

Just a day

There was oatmeal with figs and pumpkins seeds, my favorite breakfast these days, and a read through Saskia's little hand made book. It's just great. A joyful thing.

I did a little sketch over a photo of a piece I made last week.  A new placement for the snow globe effect. Winter wings maybe.

I want to make a video. Talk.

These things seems so much more work these days.  I think I need to refocus.  I am so distracted by what seems like nothing, something is blocking me.

Probably me. 

A woman can be many things

I don't remember what I was thinking...

So I thought some more.

It could be something...

In Between This and That

Just time for Noticing...

How this place seems more at home with me. 

I feel more welcomed now that I have connected with the soil. The Old Earth here.

I have heard that Celosia is edible, the leaves, anyone had any experience with that? I had a hard time starting these, slugs and things, but ok, yay! They are everywhere.

Mullein. Wild. But a couple in the garden.  I could sleep here.

I imagined a moon roof. And this beast, a loose drawn patch, more about that later...

A moon roof and a different sense of Home.

Packing for another short road trip this morning. Mostly things that need to get done that involve going somewhere. But the air is clear the sun is out and the season is high. And we are just going. I will be back to a normal schedule in a week or so. 

Encouraging a change in form

A day or so, ago.

She felt heavy. She had too many layers as a result of how she came together.Now, a day or so later, thoughts again of how form changes through interaction, here focused on where light meets dark:

I do a lot of my initial drawing digitally. I used to print the picture, that works too. But printer ink runs out fast and paper is precious. And really, as a person who draws a lot, learning digital drawing, having the tools, I think it only enhances possibility and encourages new form.

So here she is. Looking a bit unsure. But Ready. Or at least in that frame of mind. Now to draw on  the cloth. 

I noticed some issues with Typepad, this blog server, cropping up again. I'm not going anywhere though, I will just work with it.  Feel Free, well, that will evolve as well, but as it is... it will disappear as we know it, all content will be available here in one form or another.  Please note that the site will become unavailable for a few months while I fiddle.  Starting in October.  I have downgraded to a cheaper plan and changes need to be made. I will put the links to free classes here soon enough. 

I will simply extract what I need as I go.  Can't believe how much is already there in such a short time. Here, if you click, some additional thoughts on the digital doodle. Rambling with a pen...

x

I don't know why this one is so difficult to photograph, just elusive in some sort of way. Perhaps I see something that cannot be seen outside a dream. The thing that remains in between.

The X emerged, I don't think I have talked about that symbol much. I have been gathering thoughts for a while. It is a combination of conflicting thoughts having to do with the unknown, crossing over, and placekeeping.  Not to be confused with the cross (which is here too.).  But my words seem inadequate this morning and I need some time ...

Anyway, this one is complete in the context of the day. Pinned to a bit of Sanity. The Heart of Season.  And the thread that runs through it. 

This is an old drawing that is very much at the root of my thread theory. 

Very old, like 60s.

I love it more today.

I will use it to pull me through to some new form of understanding. 

 

Even Though

Commenting is a problem here, so comments are off. Ok, comments are a problem here, but let's see...

The service that delivered my posts by email has stopped offering email delivery and I don't plan to pay for another one. 

I haven't decided how I will use this place. Maybe my posts will be private. 

I put the globe tracker back, from scratch so I might know if anyone comes here anymore. My guess is mostly not. But green dots might prove me wrong.

I am still blogging over here for now, since I moved a while ago.

Nothing stands still for for long in my world. We'll see.

shifting perspective

Also I am thinking about tree forms.
