Moon Face Resurfaces

Some of you have followed for so long.

Remember MoonFace?

I suppose this patched format was the original "stray cat" format, although I was mostly thinking lion back then. Something more comfortably wilder. I made this one as part of a Faceless series, still considering face, how we share that, but yet how personal it is. Face. Is this one faceless or is it all faces? The face of time? Don't mind me. I'm in between. Asking a lot of questions and reconsidering all things.

I dipped the edges again here. Haphazardly.

I forgot to put the trash out this morning, but I still remember exactly where all these fabrics came from.

My final online workshop series will be 9 segments. The method used here, I call Skitch-Skatch (stitching and patching over a sketch), will be one of them. Each segment will be 1 month long. There may be spaces in between depending on the "move".  You will be able to subscribe separately to any one or all of them, choosing the format that works for you. I will create the series description soon enough. I feel emboldened. I'm gonna work right though it.

Someone came by to take pictures of the inside of the house yesterday. He politely asked me not(!) to remove my work from the walls. He thought it created an interesting mood. Oh ha!

 

Considering What Is as the Path to Change

Change can seem abrupt.

But it's not, the edge of it stretches right into what is and out the other side.

Design Mending. It's life.

There's a for sale sign at the edge of the property and another at the head of the private road/driveway. I see it every time I look out. Seems like everything has changed, but really it's pretty much the same. Which is to say, everything has changed.

I was going to say I'll be away, but really I'm still where I am. Wherever that is. Summer has passed for now and there is a fire burning. Not spending too much time online, hope you are all fine.

I'm going to go and stitch this down. I like it.

 

Coming and Going and Resting in Between

It's going to be a rocky year.

I'm ready.

It's only a matter of that I say to myself. Frame of mind.

I wrote this as I began writing "Patchwork in Perspective". A half written book, and now a class. In the process of being formulated. Because honestly, I need you in order to finish it.

I've continued to focus on crossroads, even in the smallest way. Because that's where I am.
