Maybe we can become diminished by too much of the same thing. Or by needing to be seen.

More to say about this… My sense of spring has taken hold. It’s a need for change. Yesterday I cleaned the living room studio. Yesterday, I received over 100 emails in response to the Forever Zone Newsletter. I will read them today. After I read them, I will decide what to do tomorrow. Meanwhile, I did work a little bit on paper before sunrise. And there they are again, new eyes, even on this cloudy day. They look good […]

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 […]

Big wind howling. But there is a fire. It grew, Grow. The Nest of Days came off the wall so I could look at this one as a whole, decide how to continue. The kitchen is behind that wall so I stop on the way and look at it a lot. Looking for now. It will not be there for long… Maybe I will take it outside too. I will try to put a post together about seams this week […]

A painted dot. Actually this is an old one. Painting that is. Cropped to make a dot. A dot can bring focus. Make more of a point. And it’s looking at you as if to say, well everything you need to hear. Which, of course, you can already say to yourself. You don’t need me for that.

Looking back Quite difficult to film through the window. Sitting on the stump that is usually a snack bar for pileated woodpeckers, pulling apart the carcass of a Blue Jay. He stopped eating because I was spotted even through the glass. Not a great film but you might catch a glimpse of the feathers below. He eventually flew away with the remainder of his meal. I love just witnessing. I am collecting seed from the Japanese Indigo blooms. I left some, the […]

And here we are. Reminds me how Mom, in her oldest of age, used to call each morning and declare, “I’m still here !” We came fairly near to a frost this early morning. Fuzz Face decided it was a bit chilly. That’s the tablecloth I made for Mom, she loved checks. I backed it because it became so thin, quilting it in my spare time. So many blackberry lily seeds, going to spread them around when I go out […]

Just a little photo play to make it seem like I could see through it all. Like all of it is loose patches. Too hot for much else.

Looking here. Looking has become quite an activity. Or, really, just passing by. Humming to myself. The back of one cloth over another. Some scrap over that. And now Grow over that. Sometimes I just live with this, forgetting about what might be underneath, for a long time. Maybe forever. Moving through days as needed. I drew some lines with a sharpie. I pinned some cutouts. But mostly I don’t know. What if it is just ok? The illusion, in […]
