I woke before dawn. The rain had stopped. I could hear the river roaring.

Just go
by jude
Forward. Just go forward. It’s a circle anyway. I cannot believe that this eye showed up as one of those crazy surprises, when you take a photo into the light. Usually there is an orb or something. Something is in the air. I ran outside, Soul-O close behind. Moss woke up. I imagined singing. That is my neighbor’s rooftop over the hill. She is not a people person she says. I have seen here twice since I moved here. You […]

just to see
by jude
That’s what motivates me. Just to see. Simple enough. I could hear it. A walk down the hill, just to see how much water has passed through the boundary wall to fuel the ever growing tiny river here. The water that springs up right out of the ground. Probably some digging would encourage more flow, but I would rather just watch this amazing process. Another thin embroidery sample, using a hoop instead of stitching on multiple layers as I do. […]

Connecting loose moments in time
by jude
Away we go for a bit. Some visiting, because it is not snowing and warm. OK. A little Nine. One inch squares. Nine as Time passes. Maybe yesterday, today and tomorrow. Maybe a blink of an eye. Here today, gone, well no, maybe transformed tomorrow. Today’s dot is a reminder of fullness. Car travel, dots are small and easy, I can continue. Needle , thread, a few loose scraps. Maybe a pencil and a scrap of paper. Small cloth. Thought […]

Untitled
by jude
Yesterday’s self was upside down. Today’s self is neither here nor there. This is just an old moonfaced beast base that needed to continue and I just stitched slowly and let it go bit by bit with no goal. In the spirit of becoming, the process was just about how it might go, and bearing witness. Just in between. The instability of form is on my mind. And then, all the work here that might be become a base once […]

To become
by jude
To become what? What if we just let go? To envision is not really an end. But a way. To keep moving. While I move through this one, with a bit of Liquid Applique, Freedom is resting on Heal. Again, it seems to belong there. I drew some lines. While remembering many Small Journeys that brought me here.

How Fragile Everything Is
by jude
I returned to a Yesterday’s Self. From here. Removed the paper templates and traced them on to very thin cloth marked with plant dye and stitched them down. The cloth is very thin. Fragile. Which got me thinking. What if I cut away behind the applique? But I don’t need to really, the turned edge shows through and reveals the thinness. Now, the concept of Yesterday’s Self has reared it’s head. The thinness seems part of it. Maybe wear. […]
Just Earth Home
by jude
Earth House. Just Home #7. What if (?) this one became a lot bigger. Grew to be a base for all the others? I’m just asking though, imagining how that could happen. Sometimes, well probably most of the time, thinking is doing. I remind myself too that doing is sometimes less about thinking. But that kind of doing is different than the doing that catches thoughts. And that has lot to do with what it is for. I think. I […]
