Seemingly ( seamingly?) torn but maybe just opening. To change. There was a digital drawing here. Which I may not have shown...
The beast is fashioned from a bit of Deb Lacativa cloth, wild it is. And the moon, indigo resist dyed over some tin can and tannin stained muslin which I always want to call time passing cloth. I have created a lot of it over the years.
The cold November rain still hangs on in December. The birds gather like stray leaves here, on the bared dogwood, outside the kitchen window.
I am pretty sure there are 9 here. I laugh. Really? Ha.
Nine friends came to stay…. I just started using the thread bead stitch on my sun cabin block to make a kind of sky around the sun. I didn’t even realize you were using thread beads on the wings here — I thought it was fabric until I listened to your recorded words ! maybe subliminally I knew what it was. Once again, thanks for the inspiration! 😄 And I am getting better at the thread beads – they take a little practice.
Ha, great! The thing is they are just fine when they are not perfect too!
I can’t find the words for how she moves me, and I am imagining her moving through your trees and leaf birds. And now I am thinking of Janie and her leaf birds. This is so much.
Ah, Janie, thank you for bringing her here…
Always a pleasure to hear your thought process in making your spirit cloth pieces 💙 9 birds perfect timing 😁
at first I thought, no way, I looked closer and closer, sure enough, 9!
Love, love the open seam. Funny, 9 birds. So good to have a bit more open TIME to come here and check-in, speaking of change.
ha, more time, you have me thinking…
So much to ponder here…… wonderful photo too. Found the nine birds. Wandering leads to new forms…..
yes, all the new eyes help me see.
how the universe within us is as infinite as the universe outside of us. when the two connect or overlap in some way, it takes my breath away. your creations seem “familiar”, embodying a truth that resonates deeply… OF COURSE there are 9 birds in the trees! ha!
the more I slow down, the more familiar it all seems.
being open to receive
and maybe give,,,
Love wandering around with you and your thoughts …
It IS funny how we perceive change as an exchange…and, yet, it’s all still within us!
This is great; Philosophy and Stitch!
🤩💖
And that pic of the bare trees and nine ! Of COURSE!!) birds
WOW!!
transformation is so much on my mind, and the constant in change.
nine birds was too funny.
Looking at this and considering what we keep inside us, what needs to be let out…love this. The birds in the tree…so funny, the ninth one was hard to find until I looked closer.
yeah it was like checking the numbers on a lottery ticket, one by one, still cannot believe there were actually nine…
Hauntingly beautiful photo, Jude. I love those kinds of days…they seem muffled in soft cloth.
And your Cloth is Imagination Itself…nine birds fulfilling the Dream fantasy.
winter trees, such good company for dreaming…
