Spirit Cloth

Today's Nine

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.

Considering one thing AS another

 

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.
