To Continue…

Fringe. Bigger than I can say. Still, sometimes skipped over. And then, sprinkled though many cloth making adventures. It becomes harder and harder for me to find it all. I added it here. Using a version of the methods shown here. Basically like a hair extension in a way… Here I wanted the fringe to extend the standing of the figure. Maybe a bit strange? But yes, I think it illustrates my point, like the roots of going. Deeper. […]

A Blue-ish Day
by jude
Yesterday was a beautiful day. Seems different here. OR. Since we moved, I feel different. Is it the place? Or just the course of events. After all, the world seems to have turned upside down just shortly after moving in. I can almost mark my calendar with it. Add to it all that has generally happened. The things that life brings. Funny how we find reasons for things. When there aren’t really any, except change. Funny how we notice some […]

Today I laughed while thinking about myself writing a book when I hardly ever read one. Also I realize I might not really enjoy it. The process. Then while thinking back to how many times I’ve said it’s not the thing it’s the journey. And then asking myself what if writing a book has […]

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. […]
