There is a lot of blue here. A lot of indigo dyeing going on right now. Cooler weather will be here soon. I need new components. These simple little indigo patches have become a complex language system for me. And I feel like I have run out of words. I have been leaning toward something more painterly.
And I have been thinking about Mood. How Drama is a tool. Then, a question arises... What if simple is kinder, more honest, less selfish than drama?
Blue can be happy or sad. Or even in between. Drama Queen meets Simple Self.
Considering, or reconsidering cloud nine. Joy can seem simple but balance is an art.
“Drama Queen meets simple self” seems so fitting for this week and a perfect name for the lovely piece. I really connect with this statement and need to reflect on that a bit.
Just beautiful, so many possibilities. I think blue is a color that creates that space.
I guess blue naturally make us sense space. It is so much all around us.
I am thinking about lighthouses, yr houses, how lovely they are, how they light the way, in so many ways.
oh, shall I work with that a bit?
Lighthouse self maybe.
Yes, great!
Love the wall of dyed pieces. Exquiste.
I love seeing them like that. There are 3 more walls full! 🙃
how time ‘n season can shift mood. the balance in that. the circular movement from night into morning into afternoon ‘n from summer into autumn… something about a large gathering of individual patches that’s deliciously inspiring. they seem quite happy to be together! ragmates!
Like seeds!
I have been thinking of making a small quilt . I started
putting together small stars with indigo linen as the back
ground . I want to add indigo moons & stars on an indigo sky .
I don’t have a plan but a plan as I go 😊
but I have to wait till cooler weather to dye yardage for the
background . it is all a process ❤️
me too, maybe even a big one. I have a lot of patches here. I am thinking of calling it off grid, get away from my usual patchwork.
It’s all a process, no kidding.
I am intrigued to wonder how you will be using all those moons and all the blue !
LOve
we’ll see!
Drama cat and flow cat, the yang and yin of our existence. the heat saps energy. A whiff of cooler weather is so welcome.
Can’t help but be so amused at Drama Queen..red ears and all…
And in the briefest of time, I have experienced amusement, wondering at what may be the curious, conversation which could be taking place between simple self and drama queen and then ….going home to peacefulness and quiet at Cloud Nine…
My day has ended well. Thanks!:)
Maybe they are considering switching places. Sometimes it is hard to tell my selves apart! Oh ha.
I can almost smell September
Your components are like hieroglyphs of you. And joy ride grows more wonderful every time I see it.
and I’ve always loved how blue can hold and be everything.
And of course, the sea association has risen up in me suddenly, the missing it.
I love how concentrated simple shapes become.
Yup, simpler…
And ohhhh, I can see where the “fun” might be with this “Drama Queen” ooo, ha, yeah!
All hail the Wall of Blues
( I stead of the Hall of Blues, somewhere in New Orleans lol)
Love Cloud Nine …
Want to indigo dye, but too damn hot to work up the enthusiasm…
Begging for rain.
City council has set no watering restrictions….
But it’s ok for people to fill their pools 😤 and (over)development screams ahead
🤬
Tired today….but Drama Queen made me 😂
Gosh, what a drag this heat has been. I was shocked how my energy has returned.
I’m still waiting…ha
And yes, definitely a DRAG!!!! 😜😣🥵
Cloud Nine makes me think of the animated film, “Up!” and the house lifted by balloons.🙂
Oh, how I love even the tiniest harbingers of autumn’s approach!
I like balloons.
An acorn dropped just a little while ago.
I want simpler too! … too much is cluttering my mind right now🥵
Refreshing to see your wall of blues 💙
perhaps it is just a matter of how we say it.
Our perspective.
The wind has kicked up and it feels like September this morning. I opened the window and all those blue patches seem to dance…
I wish we had some cooler weather! the feels like temp. is 101 and it feels hotter than hell in our house since worker are in our attic putting new duct system for our A/C system! Home problems always happen at the worst time …. ugh 😑
Wish I lived in a cave 😁❄️🌬
Might be a good choice going forward, I think big hurricanes are on the horizon.
I am drawn to Cloud Nine! Drama Queen I am not.
I knew that! ha…
