Spirit Cloth

it's About Time

 

Thank you Judy.

Once upon a time in the mail...

 

The lines of Michelle Slater...

 

The freedom of them.

I love them. They are her other poetry.

After a Big Rain

There was rain, a sea of sadnesses, the parting of that and now  we have older and wiser taking hold.

I have used the term design mending for a while now, all these years of working with cloth. Today, as I think of working in layers, how that is how image happens, (even if it is layers of time) I realize that all design is a kind of mending. This is important to me. My going.

 

And to day I really liked this.

Moon over Nine

 Moon. Indigo. Nine.

I use  moons so much.  As a sense of time. I love to weave across them. Today the patchwork squares I keep putting together, one by one, have taken the form of  a calendar in my mind.  Thoughts about that fill me.  The perpetual grid has formed a new image of calendar. Measuring persistence. A good thought to start the year.  And indigo, I will grow it this year. 

 

Here we are. 2016.

And I really like this.
