Spirit Cloth

Like Magic

Poof. The snow disappeared.

Another morning, near 60 degrees. By this evening, another deep freeze. It's amazing that sometimes science is used as a near antonym for magic. To me they are nearly the same. More about that another day.

Meanwhile I love this picture taken this morning. A lighted window in the distance. The stories it might conjure. Imagine.

We are low on wood, but not onion skins. The doors close on the studio today. Last minute cleaning. Last cloths from the Dye Po(e)t. I see strays everywhere.

I'm not exactly sure where the green came from but that old copper pot has secrets which become apparent over time.

Just Floating There

Odd winter morning.

All warm and steamy as the temperatures rose to almost 50 overnight, melting snow and filling the air with moisture.

Warm enough. No fires burning. Soul-o is out before sunrise. Probably we will have just enough time for a wood delivery before temperatures drop again.

She ended up here, just floating on a scrap of commercial quilting fabric that was dipped in the indigo vat a while ago.  I stitched over a few of the stars to integrate it all into my wishful thinking. I was going to make a pillow out of this one but I think I'll leave it like this. A floating fragment. In winter.

A note to all you who subscribe by email. What you receive is a copy of the daily post on my blog, it floats out there separate from everything else on the site including links, conversations and pop up news and shop updates. Sometimes links in the post don't translate to the mail you get. If you click the title of the post it will take you to the blog.  If you have a problem with audio or video, that's the way to fix the problem. My subscription service is getting worse and worse. It is not that reliable. I stick with it because it's free. In February it will go away. You will have to visit the blog after that. Or not if that's what you decide. I will remind you one more time before the mail stops.

A Stack of Possibilities

We want to need to relocate. Eventually.

I've been confused.

I could spend a lot of time talking about that. But Nah.

I made a video this morning. While straightening up. I didn't bother to get the tripod. It's a bit shaky but it seemed more important to get the thoughts out. Worrying about presentation can dilute my intentions of catching my thoughts. I find that more and more (that presentation is more involved in catching the thoughts of others). So just this...

So B, for Bases, when I get around to it, will be a big subject. Because a base is a place, that goes beyond cloth.
