The circles are hand drawn.
I always like them better that way. In this way I become the compass. And the way reflects how centered I am. It took me years to be able to explain that in so few words. How fragile balance is.
I started this way back. I've been less inclined to check exactly when. Instead I am just going from where I am now. I dream of dyeing this at one point. But who knows where I will be then.
They are all becoming baskets. Eventually. The larger cloths.
I am the center of the universe. And so are you.
It's a lonely place and then we reach out.
This 9 patch ring of circles was configured using a kind of quilt math. I can't focus on that today, I'm focused on reaching out and accepting how vulnerable I've been feeling. I'm noticing how imperfect the circle is anyway. I stitched the little nine in the center without a hoop and without the usual layer of cloth beneath to stabilize which caused the movement of the cloth to make it harder to form the motif. The shifting made it all less perfect than expected and that allowed me to see that and just appreciate the conversation for what it was. Is. A back and forth.
I might name this Less Than Perfect.
Today is my birthday.
67!!!
The avocado plant has awakened.
After months of dropping leaves.
Birthdays always have me thinking about growth.
I got 99.9% good feedback on the audio player. NOTE: If you are subscribed by email. You are receiving a copy of the daily post from my blog via an automatic service. I too subscribe so I can review the format conversion. Most media, video or audio does not show up with a player. That is why I supply an alternative link. Just as a reminder, you can always click the title of the post and that will take you to the actual blog post on the blog itself. I suggest this only because I feel it is a more complete experience. But that's up to you. The alternative audio opens in a separate window which can be minimized, giving you the opportunity to look while you listen.
I will probably stick with the You Tube format over at Feel Free. We'll see.
I have some really old paper. Because I waited so long.
Ha, even I have become antique.
