floating ideas…

February 17, 2023 by jude

Mini Cabin #2, again a Moon Cabin. Still loose. Yet framing, holding center. When you do things over and over again without just trying to repeat things change on their own. Like how you do it, But then even what it means to do it. Like how silly, lighthearted, it once seemed. But then not really. Sometimes you see beyond what others see. Sometimes you say, sometimes you don’t. Sometimes no one understands. But a thing can be more than one […]

Talking about story

February 15, 2023 by jude

Hey So Story. A story illustrates going. Even though there is no there there. story is I put a white dot in the red center (heart) of the cabin. And then… light I like this last photo. Like a path from one thing to another. With this small story cloth, I begin again. Just going. Being amazed at how things form. There is so much more to say about this one. Tomorrow then. PS: In this year of 2023, I […]

Just go

February 10, 2023 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 […]

continuing from Yesterday

February 8, 2023 by jude

Yesterday, Liz, she mentioned Design Mending. I responded and then suddenly listened to myself, saying it has all become that. And yes, I truly feel that. Which goes back to my feelings about thingness and form. It is all moving. I source my energy from that. …after some stitching. The dots/circles look a bit like bubbles. I did not intend whales. Just life flow. But now they are there. …after some folding just to remove the house from view. Maybe […]

it was there

February 7, 2023 by jude

This one. Because it was in the pile of I Don’t Know. Created while I was considering Home. A lot. Pinned to the wall for so long, I got tired of looking. Waiting for direction. First. Everything Is Connected. Then. Holding on to Nothing. Finally, calling it New Eyes. Yesterday I stitched all those little stitches on either side that frame the intersection circles. I didn’t sleep so I spent some time last night considering continuing the border stitching in […]

one small journey

February 3, 2023 by jude

One day, moment, into the next. A new Dot (a basket might be a dot that can hold more dots). An older technique, this is a form of Sketch Applique. But everything can be new again. There is always more to say. To do. repeating Please note that more older content is being added to the glossary. Including media. If you are using a touch screen, touching outside the box will close it. If you are using a mouse, moving […]

Mood February

February 1, 2023 by jude

February. I had planned to publish a Newsletter. Suddenly my News seemed too small. So… Rock Self. Balancing in a winter wind. I planned to make this faceless. But I changed my mind. I am in there, simply imagining myself as rock. heavy

so the circle is there

January 31, 2023 by jude

And I am simply here. It’s still a curtain, not necessarily for this window, and maybe that will change. I think it might be leaning toward blanket/curtain. A transitional sort of cloth. The holiday lights are still up, probably I will never take them down. Actually I will probably move them out to the porch, they make nice nightlights. I couldn’t find them when we moved in. I always had them hanging in my studio back on the island. Instant […]

almost february

January 30, 2023 by jude

I lit a fire. Sometimes I stand there, thanking my lucky stars. Sometimes I am being watched. A stack of larger cloths. Because I love a stack of stories. I took this one, Balancing Act, off the wall. Put it on the big round table. Because I think, the table rings, the circles, even just the impression of basket, I need that to be part of everything going forward. Yes. And here we go. I will let the line disappear […]
