I think, the way things are going, I will probably be posting later at night instead of the morning... it feels like that will work better for me right now.

I tried using permanent markers, but soon realized that I trust my stitching hand more than my drawing hand … these days I use erasable markers as a way to suggest a line which I might or might not follow
I do trust my drawing hand, and I love that it can part of my clothwork. The unexpected paths it leads me down.
This vascillating piscean is admiring your bravery, while stuck in whatifery.
You added some ‘ heart in mouth ‘ time to my day … but I do have sharpies!
what if we all do have a sharpie somewhere… ?
Brave
Brave.
love the feeling
of
Brave
but then, it’s only cloth!
trying to imagine really brave, when we might have that chance.
Ha! You taught me to do this. The first time I used a sharpie on cloth was a bit scary, but it felt so freeing!!!!!
away with the thingess, here here to feeling free.
Sharpies are not as permanent as one might think…sunscreen and hand sanitizer will take it off many surfaces. Actually it’s spooky what hand sanitizer will erase. Video made me laugh, I can do that. 🙂
yes, shiny surfaces. spooky what we put on our skin right? and way back when Mom as teaching nursery school…sharpie on skin happened and it did come off with alchohol. maybe permanent “enough”, oh ha ha ha.
Just draw what you feel……so freeing!
some drawing is feel what you see, some then somehow become a way to see what you feel.
Yes. True.
Yes! Way to reach outside the original boundaries and bring the large scale edges back into the inner theme. The nine-patch at the center practically sparkles amid its leafy, earthy nest. Its like the spirit of life animating and engaging (in nines) all the ongoing rise and decay of nature happening around it.
reach and center, such an image builder. I was going to add more leaves to the new set, but now, maybe something else.
It takes real guts Jude to do what you do. Again you continue to inspire!
but then, it is only cloth, right? I say that to myself a lot. And then I should talk about what if I don’t like it?
I remember the first time I saw you do this…drawing a very big circle on a big cloth…I just couldn’t believe you would do that to something you’d put so much work, so many hours into. Now, I’m like ‘oh yeah, there’s Jude drawing on cloth again’!! ha
I really Do Not like the sharpie smell…but use them for the many packages I mail out 🙂 So, in that way they are a true gift, because they allow me to give to others. Also, J. wanted to do something…I think it was color a new pick guard for one of his guitars, so I bought a set of fine, colorful sharpies!
I love the smell I think because it reminds me of all the time I have used them. Time for the “sharpie diaries”, oh ha. Mom, and nursery school comes to mind.
I trust you ever and your red lines. Like and respect red lines ever
both your comments are here, I love them both times.
Letting loose 💙
and at the same time defining.
I.me.trust.you.ever!
ha!
My sharpies stand at the ready and last year, I used my black sharpie to play a trick on my trickster wall hanging of Kokopelli, the god of tricksters, harvest and fertility. Years ago when I first came to New Mexico, I learned of Kokopelli and have been a fan ever since, purchasing a small statue, a kitchen bell, a trivet, a chime for out in the garden and I was gifted a large handmade Kokopelli sculpture..
Several years ago, I traced my small Kokopelli statue onto a paper bag, cut out the pattern, transferred it to walnut dyed cloth and stitched away, creating a large wall hanging. Well Kokopelli had some other ideas and over time, the walnut dyed Kokopelli cloth seemed to fade against the many other pieces of dyed and marked cloths that made up this wall hanging…what to do!
HA! Sharpie to the rescue!. I simply took my sharpie and with bold, black strokes traced the outline of the walnut cloth Kokopeolli enabling it to stand out from the cloth. Every time I see this cloth, (it is on one of our living room walls) I laugh… who tricked who!
ha, that was a great sharpie story!
I wonder, when they wear out, maybe I will use the pieces to create some sort of mobile or wind catcher.
Be Brave!
A good metaphor for Being, really.
😁💕
I always get new Sharpies in my Christmas stocking each year🤩
I am amazed how long they last.
i catch my breath watching you draw directly on the cloth. how it flows out of you. almost like you become the sharpie.
Yes, a sharpie is defiant in so many ways.
You are the Artist. You may do whatever moves your artist-Soul.
Carry on!
I do love drawing on cloth. It is so forgiving really, so many ways to work with a line, right or wrong.
Amazed at how you build from the inside out!!
I’m up @ night, something to look forward to.
I think changing my schedule a bit will help me sleep
Nine is fine ….before you, nine was meaningless.
Changes…
friends bring meaning to many things. love.
Watching that line being created…oh goodness..I am sitting wide eyed! Incredible to watch how you make it speak!
directly going is the best, no turning back.
