...at the speed of thought then...
(I am about to send out another email correspondence for those of you who have joined part 1-Patchwork in Perspective. If you do not receive the mail today, check your spam folder first and then let me know if you still don't find it.)
and thinking...
Rain.
Way too much of it. And no warmth.
It's like this. And it's daytime. It makes me crazy.
I took a pen to some loose Sun Moon Stars patching from a while back.
The sun has a new logic to it. I forget what it actually looks like. A loss of memory can encourage new form.
Good Morning.
Today's (actually it happened a few days ago) Nine is not really nine. But then again it is.
I didn't want you to think I forgot about Nine.
It happened while I was pulling small scraps of self to build a big enough piece to make that square size I have been using. Which is 1 and 3/4" by the way. And there was a buttonhole from an old shirt in the basket. I like buttons and button holes. They are useful.
They might be used as connectors that are built right into a cloth. I thought. Since I know I have a lot of them.
What should I call it ? Not quite Nine for Hanging around?
Just getting back into the swing of the patchwork thing. Feeling light headed.
I have begun to depart from the square. And I'll be talking about that. I am shifting things around to get into winter video mode today. Even though it's still warm enough to be September. The light/dark is shifting.
That button hole looks like an eye. Which has me thinking, remembering Button Face.
Maybe a new face idea.
Eyes are connectors. Useful.
So. I have been doodling for ever. Not just on Wednesdays, although that was official for a while.
I guess I started out on paper. Then I moved to cloth. But not in the same way really. The mediums are different. And how I feel about them. And somehow cloth always seemed more precious than paper. And doodles on cloth, more deliberate for a purpose that was part of a plan.
So this time thinking about cloth as paper. How that might change my approach.
Later, I think, thinking about paper as cloth. Probably I want to bring them closer together. Let the sense of what they are as a medium cross over. Without creating any multi-media approach. Because I don't like that much. I am more of a purist in that regard.
And now the cat's got the hoop.
If the path before you is clear,
you are probably on
someone else's.
