Spirit Cloth

A Studio Day

A warm one. Before another polar vortex. I put my winter bitch in the closet.

I will build one small fire, warm up the stove. Since the sun is out, that's enough for the day.

On a lighter note, this will be a Stoodio Day.

The lightness took over yesterday. When I patched Joy back to my center.

Stitching, anticipating February, weathering a storm before it happens, stitching, sewing snow, S(new)ing...? Snewing. Probably with out the context, we might read it Snoowing.  Oh ha.

The patches are half dipped indigo, two stitched together seemed to be a snowscape. The cloth is doublewoven, from an old baby blanket, so I did not add my normal extra layer.  Maybe you remember this Cloth Story. More of those to come. Materials are like good friends, every day you learn a little more about them.

Snow . Stitch.

It did, it snowed a bit.

I'm celebrating. Stitching across an old moon.

Thread beads. But today I will call it the Snow Stitch. Frame of mind.

Letting Go

of the The Chill that was haunting me.

Got up, lit a fire. Inside. I'm not so good at idle. Juice some ginger and think positive. It can work. I think Dad said that.

When I used to draw all the time. I used tiny black ink dots a lot. I was looking for some of my old drawings. They must be somewhere. For now, in cloth, the hand stitched stipple.

I think I will let this one never be finished. I think I will even name it that.

 

I will send out another Feel Free Newsletter test tomorrow. Before beginning the official issue. If you get it and all is fine, well OK. No need to say. If not, check your spam folder. ClothWhispering seems to be flagged as weird. If you still don't see it, email me.  If you have had trouble subscribing (at the bottom of the Feel Free page), try the Help section on Feel Free. If all else fails, there is a link in the menu bar. All issues will be there, for now, in case. If you follow here, I will let you know whenever a new one has been issued. That should cover it I think.

The Newsletter will keep you up-to-date on the 2019 Sharing Series.
