how it might continue

March 8, 2023 by jude

Going might transform this cabin thing. As a less obvious cabin. As a more obvious holding. A frame. And just a path to building something. indigo magic Indigo is magic. practice What if inbetween is more important than we think? What’s the rush? A More Ancient Light. That’s what came to mind. (I whisper a lot in the morning, the Man here sleeps in, perhaps that is how cloth whispering evolved, ha!)

earth cabin

February 25, 2023 by jude

Season churns. Big wind yesterday. 16 degrees this morning. Snow Monday or so they say. Glancing out the kitchen window. Noticing. The tarp blew off the wood pile again. Last time I found it quite far away. Many birds and small beings live in there. A log cabin of sorts. I laugh. It is like a critter hotel. I bet they are cold this morning. I will bring in a lot of wood. We will be below freezing for a […]

warm wind last night…

February 24, 2023 by jude

A good sleep. And that calms me. No rush. I found a sheet of ice that had formed in a depression on the wood pile tarp after the rain froze. I got to hold it. It held a bit of autumn. I got to hold it up to the winter sky and to look, see through it. But it couldn’t stay.

seasonal blues

September 27, 2022 by jude

Yesterday. I thought about season. How much Joy there really is in it for me. Here, the blues that have nothing to do with sad. Dyeing, for me, is always a question. I haven’t really spent time enough to say I know. But then time flies and knowing by going fills you with at least the story of how it goes. Mostly silk this time, and still many colors. This morning, again. And Wordpress will not display my video […]

SUNdayday

August 14, 2022 by jude

Just a few marigolds. A bit of alum. On silk, in the sun. Solar Dyeing. There is another jar without the alum. I have heard there is a fade factor. Best to see for self. The water here has a heavy mineral content, much different than back on the Island. Everything is different here. Isn’t that great? New eyes. Heat is building here again today, Maybe I will leave it a bit longer. Maybe inspiring another SUNflower. I mean wow. […]

a bit more color

August 13, 2022 by jude

Trace of the blue… The indigo is very stressed, I tried some fresh leaves this morning, the salt method, it took a while, seemed like forever, but yes there was a bit more color than expected. It is hard to keep up with the dryness, some stuff has just let go.

getting through

August 7, 2022 by jude

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 […]

just a little garden cloth

August 2, 2022 by jude

The purple basil didn’t do well, munched and molded. But it did leave a bit of color on silk. I think August will be a bit wordless. In the garden. Learning. I am very confused about so many things.
