This is a thinking wall. To look at my thoughts. Which encourages image. Which supports story.
How it happened is different that how it is happening and how it might happen. How do I represent I am thinking instead of I was thinking? Thought is a thread.
I spent some time searching for a scrap for the beast self. I think a lot while doing that. I need to try to share that. So time flew and I got lost in thoughts, not expecting to go so far. Suddenly things came together and I forgot to say how. Room for no words.
A few new techniques are rising from this one.
I am going to take a break now, from blogging, until April 1. Room for whatever it takes. And then I will begin again in the Forever Zone. On Fools Day. I may continue to post on social media now and then, in the meantime, we'll see.
What do you need to make room for?
I'm going to take a long walk. Winter will be back soon...
Room to stretch, room to breathe… :). Sending love.
Room for your gift!
Jude, I love your wall and your work. It certainly is symbolic.
Room for change. I need to make room for new changes. They are scary.
Room for sadness. My spinal issues are influencing me and my ability to carry on as an artist. I can barely hold a pencil, let alone a needle.
So your (blank) wall is where I’m at these days.
On a lighter note, I have always loved your beasts! They bring a smile to my face.
One more light note- garden season is upon us!
There is a lot of room in blank.
Hoping spring brinks some relief. ❤️
Thinking can be doing too.
Thank you. Totally agree with you
Whoa, good but unexpected choice on the fabric for the beast/self. The pink mouth and the pink fire open a whole new area of association. I love this about your work.
I ran into some old sray scraps of self…❤️
Looking at he images, thinking and listening…I imagine the beast moved up into the empty space above it and thinking ‘just going’…which has me imagining beast marching across separate cloths, from open space to open space. 🙂 A nice image.
Yes, a wonderful wandering!
Your voice when you said, “room for loss…room for mistakes.”
So much emotion there.

It’s good to say it
Is my cat the only one who chews my threads? One of two, the other doesn’t. She literally searches them out.
I fear I do too much thinking and it stops me from moving forward.
No that’s worrying…🙃
Enjoy your walk in the woods! 🌳🦌🐈⬛

a “thinking wall” reminds me of being little ‘n hearin’ the phrase, “put on your thinking cap”… as with so much that you share, it transports me back to a simpler time in my life. and that brings me deep joy!… so now i’m thinking about the kind of thinking cap i want to make. ha! x
Oh let’s do that!
A lovely thought!!! Think and do! Thank you!
The space in between things and words and doings and comings and goings and what is/was/will be…and all the rest of it…that can be a powerful place…a mystical place…a scary place. Like the ‘dark matter’ that some say is what actually holds the universe together…and I just read that the universe might actually be the inside of a black hole…and now I have to laugh at myself because it is so easy for me to wander off down rabbit holes of thought at the drop of a hat.
Tomorrow is the first day of Spring. Enjoy your away time, Jude.
Oh, I have to get away. From this phone, from the World. It is too much with me.
So I’m stitching a simple little pattern from Notforgotten Farm, “Black Walnut Tree.” Slow. Intentional. Lovely. My way of making room, creating space. Andeditating on Trees.
*meditating
I guessed
Sounds good!
I totally enjoy rabbit holes!!!
I’m very new here Jude. I know little of stitching, textiles, art, but I am fascinated to learn, even at the tender age of 62. What I do know is that you are already an inspiration. I love listening to your spoken word thoughts and your soporific tones. No, I don’t fall asleep just become thoughtful. Thank you 🙏🏼
Welcome Rebecca 🙂
Thank you for saying!
Are those Soul-O’s teeth marks in the paper critter? You gave it wings to fly away.
Enjoy your spring break!
No just pinhole, ha!
Enjoy!
😀
Hello, Jude.🍓🍀
