some sort of dance perhaps

Playing with loose dyed dots, connect dots and you you have a line, a path. A-line-ment? Oh ha.

what is done?
by jude
One thing (is there such a thing?) is always becoming another. I can’t talk about what is happening here yet. It’s a C2P thing. And I am so in between. The one thing I can say is that I feel, deeply feel, both the joy and sadness in becoming. Just like that. Nameless reasons. Perhaps life’s patchwork, in perspective. Skeave is next. Looming, skeave is looming. What a fun play on words I just said to myself. Words are so […]

another cold morning
by jude
Big wind howling. But there is a fire. It grew, Grow. The Nest of Days came off the wall so I could look at this one as a whole, decide how to continue. The kitchen is behind that wall so I stop on the way and look at it a lot. Looking for now. It will not be there for long… Maybe I will take it outside too. I will try to put a post together about seams this week […]

Carry On
by jude
This weekend. Learning this video tool. Here just seeing how natural morning light turns out (because I love the edge of darkness). What grainy means. Trying to connect small moments. And just showing for no reason other than so something is here. No snow forecast. But snow. The mountains rule. That stray self on the muslin cloth, I have been calling it Life is Heavy. And today maybe I will call it Carry On, has a more positive sense to […]

Another red line
by jude
I choose red, again. Red line. Edge. Halfway around. About one hour’s worth. Just about. Just to say. The stories are mostly here on the blog. My current teaching/explaining is mostly in the Forever Zone. I will take a few days/tries to shift my video approach and try to get it to where I can continue there with ease. New spot, new editor, old tripod, sky lighting, new mood. And a simplified, to the point, approach. Shorts. Easier. Just showing. When needed. […]

Growing Pains
by jude
I think I need a drone… I will take a photo outside when I get a chance, right now, a small ice storm. The Grow cloth, becoming bigger. I decided to do that first. With what is on hand here. It is good to be using some of the larger pieces of cloth here. Using them. I am using what I call seamless piecing here. I will probably talk more about that later. Anyway, about 12″ bigger all around should […]

On the Big Round Table
by jude
ok. Grow… This one was on the small round table we moved outside to the porch. I brought it in and hung it on the wall too look. In October. The red circle was drawn using the edge of that table as a guide. The man made that table. And the cloth stayed and became a table cloth while I worked on it. We sat. talked. Ate. Looked into the forest. Soul-O had his own chair, slept there under […]

Day 10 Dot 3
by jude
A dot a Day? What if it’s just one Dot at a time? Somehow that frees my mind. I’m not really into disciplines. The number of dots is growing. That is fine.

I think I see you and you think you can see me
by jude
A painted dot. Actually this is an old one. Painting that is. Cropped to make a dot. A dot can bring focus. Make more of a point. And it’s looking at you as if to say, well everything you need to hear. Which, of course, you can already say to yourself. You don’t need me for that.
