Spirit Cloth

Smaller

The deer.

Among clotheslines. Closer than before. A group of young ones wandered through. Or maybe they are just smaller here? They are more grey, less brown from the other place I no longer call home. Very hard to see against the oak bark. I think they have been more present, just not noticed because not so much in the clearing near the house. This is right outside the window where I put my drawing/drink tea table that sits closer to the ground. 

The tiny iron tea pot.  And not for drinking tea. I bought it from Crazy Richard in Japan, while considering small cloth. Asked if it could linger there before the move. It just arrived. It's actually my new tiny dyepot, maybe big enough for one walnut. And then, I accidentally left my big old walnut pot behind. I did remember my big copper pot though.  But smaller was,is on my mind. Dyeing one scrap at a time.

Scraps of self grow smaller each year.

October's Loose Scraps

This is the basket that caught the stray bits while I was packing. Anything I make for the rest of the year will be built from these scraps. I didn't choose them for any reason. They were just strays that fell from process. The basket has a handle, for carrying. I have a small box of thread and needles etc. Enough for now. So far here, big wind, no rain. Leaves are falling. It is almost mid October. And it is not cold.

The "studio" is all packed up.  I will put it all in storage. I don't know when we will leave but we will be ready. 

ok

Let this blog become a Slow Holding Pattern now. 

Sounds more romantic. A ceremony.

Just pics. Tho I will not be online much. Comments off after today. For October.  If you are signed up for Patchwork in Perspective, please check the class sites on Wednesdays, there will be new content. I have marked the series, parts 1 and 2 sold out. I thinks that's it. Part three will go on sale next year.  After October, I will move into mobile mode.  That is, you can follow me on Instagram until I have a desk again.  

Some scrap bags may show up in the ThreadCrumbs Shop as I purge. Or not, let's see how it goes...

You can always reach me by email.

Ok, now I am excited.
