Imagining my self as a Wild Sunflower… Energy returns when you wake up to 60 degrees. My coma has subsided.

old heart new heart

This Old Heart Been calling this that. I added circles. A basket. I stitched them with Deb’s thread, the one I call sketchy thread, mostly whiteish with some dirty grey marks. I remember asking here about black and whiteish, if she could do that. And she did. Using one strand, on this scale, a lot like a drawn line. Line, another subject to be revisited. I thought I might be done, but then SUNflower popped back up, because it is […]

Season

August, ( there is that A again) a month of change. And this time around, the dryness make leaves fall early. I am reminded. I remember it as still summer and then why were we thinking about going back to school? I didn’t like school much. Especially as I got older. I was shy. Insecure. Not good with people. I am the same person. I keep digging things out of the pile here. This one was about edges. Maybe how […]

a wall of stories

It simply has to be time for simpler. Maybe because I have run out of wall space. Maybe because I am wondering what it is all for? Still. Even in the fullest of days, more. Sunflowers.

At least not the breathable […]

Sunflowers are on my mind. Still, but S is a wee bit down the road. It’s a symbol, I added it to the glossary but I will gather my thoughts later. Just Sunflower then. Right now it is too hot and I’m having breakfast. That’s right, cookies, I’m going through a phase. Internet is spotty. There was a bit of rain yesterday but it only made it more humid. The ground is still dry. Ants are coming in looking for […]

Not the Last Sunflower
by jude
The thing is, hopelessness is useless. And actually it is just a point of view. And you can change it. Over the years, I have grappled with the word Art. The concept of Art. The use of Art. I have often been frustrated with the romantic approach to Art. It’s exclusivity in terms of community. Although many might disagree. But now I can explain, I think, how I feel. Art is not the contest that reaps the title artist, the […]

Outside looking in
by jude
Lately. Every evening when it cools a bit, I sit on the porch beneath the center skylight, and look up. Last evening, there was looking back. Outside looking in. And I said, out loud, this is just how I feel lately. I found a lot of old thin silk that was hiding in an unopened box. I continue to play with small bundles. Not waiting long enough to see, but long enough to know that what I imagine might actually […]
