Working with Sanity

September 10, 2022 by jude

This one holds so many moments  of  Acceptance.   A is for Acceptance, a new word just added to the glossary because some considering happened while dreaming. I renamed this one, shortened the name to Over Time     The garden might teach acceptance. And I did add a new symbol to my Spirit Cloth language, I call it LifeLine.

summer 2022

July 30, 2022 by jude

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 […]

Filling up with words

June 29, 2022 by jude

I may just call her Done aka Singing Woman. She ended up resting here for a while… My cloths have become kind, they often hold one another. Until it is time to go.  While small cloths are about being held,  large cloths are about holding.  Blankets, not art.  It is important to me that they not be “art”.  It is hard to explain. But someday I will be able to find the words.  If I live long enough. Weird summer.  […]

S day

June 20, 2022 by jude

S was for Sunday but I posted something else. S is for stitch. Been doing a little.  I am playing with the Temple image again.  Trying to make it simpler. Temple is often so removed from real life. I would like to think of it as a kind of home, filled with a kindness and lightness. Wings helped. Temple in the  of the Sky. Sky Place. Not god place. S is also for squirrel today.  I get closer every time.  Suddenly named […]

faceless day

April 13, 2022 by jude

This one is still here.  The one I called They Became Like a Tree. From back here.  And still no faces.  I am thinking about faceless. How it does not mean formless.  Or empty.  I might look more while considering a new name like Facelessly Forming. How life might go, with no one noticing.  How randomly things come into view. Become known. Become part of one’s story. Magnolia.  Never a friend before,  just  a whisper of a tree being. It was […]

A Natural Occurrence

August 6, 2021 by jude

Sometimes new form is difficult. Not the birth of it, I think that just happens. The acceptance of it.  That is often blocked by our choosing NOT to show it. I don’t know about you but I can say in all honesty, audience is a factor.  Well, after all my years I know in my heart that is probably always true.  There is a need to share, but we shape it.  So new form is rare.  Because it isn’t easy […]

one Thing

August 3, 2021 by jude

Yesterday, on Instagram, I posted a little video, because it was easy just to capture a few moments.  And I said: If there is one thing I have learned over the years, it is to leave your edges open, because form evolves. And fringe is my symbol for continuing. I know I have said that before, but in the context of layers,  the natural build up of layers in collage type work is a covering up process, but I love interrupting […]

Good Morning

May 25, 2021 by jude

Continuing.  From here.  I made a circle using the Double Running Stitch aka the Magic  Stitch when it is done in black and white.  I think really I should rename it the Double Walking Stitch.  You have to go slowly.  And  there are more things to say.  But not today.  Loose thoughts are on my mind and then imaginings on how they might come together.  And then of course the question. What If it doesn’t much matter?  Followed quickly by […]

Just Going

May 12, 2021 by jude

I have two raised bed planters on the deck.  Last year  I grew herbs, scallions, celery, tomatoes and chard very successfully.  I also grew indigo in a pot.  Right nearby.  I moved the pot onto the planter later in the season. Somehow some seeds found a home there. Ha!  I usually start the indigo indoors.  I have some waiting for warmer days, but these are already strong and ready to go.  I had no idea they would  reseed here. More […]
