Sometimes, 9, Nine, is like a note to self. Most of the time actually. I like to make one a day. Ninedujour Series. They have turned into a way to journal in cloth. I happened upon a box of tiny puzzle pieces, leftover from Small Cloth class, so they have taken smaller form these past days. Today A can be for temporary Alignment. Like this is a temporary page, only the nine will actually hold together. For a while at […]

How dry is it? Question is, how much drier can it become? Simply, no rain. All around us but none here. Seems like September has already finished. Leave falling. Without turning color. We are here, I finished up the fading Indigo vat, Pulled a lot of the vegetable plants that really looked like they had had it. Trying to water with the sprinkler mid-day caused a huge mold problem and well, I learned and will take a different approach next […]

The heat rises. Another hot week. I have bowls of water everywhere. So many come to drink. We are in the middle of splitting and stacking wood. Sweaty but satisfying work. Winter will come soon enough and there are promises of colder than cold. But also wetter than wet. question: I am working to enhance the Glossary, and before I get too far, is anyone having issues with viewing the pop up boxes then you hover over the underlined words? […]

For a long time now, inspired by Dana… …the cloth I call Grow, remains on the table, as a Table Cloth. It made a a great backdrop for seed sorting yesterday. While we enjoyed a few drops of rain for about 2 minutes. Here in lower New York State, where water is everywhere, declared a drought area with reduced ground water for at least the near future, expected to continue now for however long. Birds , bees, squirrels, chipmunks and […]

July, almost August really and I feel as if the season has only begun. You might note that this one isn’t as big as it seemed in yesterday’s photo. The large cloths seem smaller outdoors. I love that. It is only about 36 ” square-ish. And. It is quite thin really. From the back you can see it started as a woven panel backed with thin cloth and then placed on a larger thin cloth (dyed with acorns), I cut […]

Good Morning… The craziness here has not diminished. Some new roof issues have prolonged the process. And increased the cost. But hey, whatever gets done here will last a lifetime, especially ours, at this point. My Impression of May is just as it can be. I do feel it is a Mothering on many levels. It is comforting me. Demanding nothing in return. Instilling a sense of going that feels natural. It is helping me understand order without feeling limited, […]

New Visitors. I am so attuned to the window scene with the feeder, the comings and goings. Out of the corner of my eye. And then in just a second, my attention is drawn to any change. First there was the flutter, the quick dart of the first humming bird of the season, They are so quick, like insects. Couldn’t get a picture if I tried. But then, what’s this? Wow! I yelled and the man came running. I […]

May or an Impression of May… in early morning light. Over a cloth called Heal. How one just fits to the other. How one thing becomes another through pairing. Pairings. Each giving something to New Form. I know it is spring, I have my first poison ivy. And today I consider more seriously leaving the metaverse, a big step to somewhere else. It is warm and sunny and I am going outside to plant more morning glories. Maybe build a […]
