Carry On

January 14, 2023 by jude

This weekend. Learning this video tool. Here just seeing how natural morning light turns out (because I love the edge of darkness). What grainy means. Trying to connect small moments. And just showing for no reason other than so something is here. No snow forecast. But snow. The mountains rule. That stray self on the muslin cloth, I have been calling it Life is Heavy. And today maybe I will call it Carry On, has a more positive sense to […]

Tiny Spring

December 29, 2022 by jude

It’s been so cold. And now it isn’t. Like a sudden Tiny Spring. Tiny Spring. You know, a moment in the midst of winter when you sense the coming warmth, because you carry season, don’t you? What if Season is a lesson? There are nine scraps here, so Nine for a Sense of Warmth. On this glorious December Day. I am here today, testing to make sure all my housecleaning has been fruitful. To See if there any glitches before […]

and so

Again Taking Time to reflect… We pause, we go. Sempathy for the Season To all of you who come here, I wish you the best in this transitional time from Dark to Light, as winter offers it’s pathway to spring. I picked up this stray self, started a while back. Found a loose heart which I would like to integrate somehow, while considering our journey and how we might maintain a heart outside ourselves. Not unlike lighting a candle. I will […]

here comes the sun

The lake with no name is frozen. But a sense of light returning is in the air. We approach longer days. Layers here inspired by Deb this morning. And I really like this. Have a nice day.

Hey look it’s Wednesday

December 14, 2022 by jude

Yesterday this site went down. Today I am sitting in a pile of loose yesterdays. This is the drawing I used as a card when I first started to sell in my shop. Cannot remember how long ago it was. I like it as a message to say from my home to yours. I look at it today. Drawn before stitching days. 1965? It seems stitched. What if? And here is the photo that inspired the “snow scratched” idea. More […]

edge of no thing

December 11, 2022 by jude

Here it is. You remember Q. Near U. Q was not finished. I added the big question. We all have questions. A child will have many. But the big one, it comes with age I think. As with quest, a question can change in scale over time. As will our sense of self in the scheme of things. big question I love the raw edge of a woven cloth. How it holds together and falls apart while you look. I […]

Managing the Thin-ness

November 27, 2022 by jude

The change of season has revealed the small basket feeder I hung on the fence in early spring. I forgot it was there. The summer growth had woven another basket around it. It became a nest. It’s the time of year for seeing through. I remind myself that design is a kind of mending. This cloth, The Mother-Ring, is so thin, unstable, worn, stained, reworked, holding but useful maybe only for looking. I made some changes. Folded the edge in […]

z is for…

November 25, 2022 by jude

Z. Zebra, ZigZag , Zzzzz. Alphabet Soup will be ready to travel to its new home by year’s end. In whatever form it has taken by then. I am not exactly Zooming along, no, I am just going. Rather randomly as I bump into this and that. Honestly, it would hold together as it is now. And probably I could work on it anytime, even after I give it away. I am thinking of creating the ZigZag in the Double […]
