Spirit Cloth

Inner Peace

 

Fire raging in California.

I had been working with some loose dyed patches I pulled back from the shop. The group called Birth and Destruction.

Was stitching them. They came with words. My brother wrote those words. I like them so much.

Things come together
fall apart
come together
fall apart
come together again
fall apart again.

I replaced the center patch with another loose stitched patch that was a leftover from something else. Saved. After reading GRACE'S POST from last night.  I added Inner Peace.

I take the liberty to say WE all hope things are OK.

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!

 

Solution

Nap.

Hey Look. I'm up early. Some napping (learned from a master)and so grateful for an almost full night's sleep with no pain.

My son is visiting, recently returned from various adventures in far off lands and not so far off lands. Fixing the shocks on his wheels and hanging out.

So after concentrating on the concept of Human Limitation yesterday... framing that thought...

...my frame of mind has switched back to imagining a house with a roof where the sky gets in.

My ankle is healing nicely. I will be very careful about keeping it that way. For now I have two gentle servants to sweeten the path.

I think I have caught up on the Feel Free password requests. And emails. If you feel I have missed your communications in the past weeks. Try again. I'm back. Computer at my side.

I am still planning the last hurrah online class thingie. I'm fiddling in my head with a new format. If you signed up to follow me on Feel Free you will receive the Newsletter about that by the end of Summer.  The timing is set for later in the year as I will be swamped with things to do as soon as I am up and around.
