holders
keeping things in bags.
used to keep the floss in an old index file box. before that, a big orange bowl my brother used to eat cereal from when we were young.
couldn't tote them with me from vegas, so now they're in a bag.
(small muslin bag is for my pin cushion)

pressure
atmospheric. moon tides. migraines. [and a moon face :) ] is it a change from the desert to the humid coast pressing in?
been spending lots of time in the wonderful cool dark closet. finished this bag several days ago, but my aversion to light has not allowed me to post it.

point of view
after deciding to add a moon to this foundation, i thought of jude's post and developing a thought.
and taking steps away from it. it didn't have any meaning to add a moon. i just wanted to. after i got into the stitching i realized that it could mean a certain thing. a lot of certain things.
thinking of st. therese of lisieux the night before and niece brought me a gift of this beautiful sweet smelling creamy colored rose yesterday afternoon.

re peat
looks like it, only a different part.
continuing the process (from yesterday). blues brown sky earth ground. rearranging the thinking. transforming to see the reality of a situation.
this moth (herpetogramma?) has fluttered in around and out of the window screen since mid-morning.

pink soothed
i pinned this together last night. wasn't sure if it was going to stick.
after a heated argument earlier this morning, i strongly needed to put some stitches in this. she talked me down.

barely there
the light is different here. softer. i can't seem to get a feel of it for the camera.
even though i only started this yesterday, this seems to be speaking slowly and softly. i keep adding more stitches and they are absorbed into the pale.

The cat comes out
i realized i'd not cut any wavy weaves.
did not come out as ~curvy~ as i'd imagined.
did some wavy back stitching (was really nice to do) and added some scraps colors...
got a little carried away on the stitching again... hahahahahha
mr. cat agreed to come and help me tone it down a bit.
i made his eyes and fringed up the strips edges the jude way.
not finished yet... i think a spider wants to come hang out. and the moon is looking a little stark/bare.

:HOME:work
been sick... still am, but at least i'm not flat on my back.
haven't been doing ANYthing cloth related. it was taking all my strength to keep the grands from clobbering each other. i vowed this weekend to get back to it though. ripped up some strips and got to work night before last.
i'm trying to get caught up on all the methods at class. the tapestry, the double weave, cut out and mask... check check check. i think that's all of them.
i am going to use all these methods more extensively in the HOME comforter work. i just wanted to try em' out to get a feel for them.
For the comfort
over the weekend i started work on covering the comforter.
weaved strips of scrap cloth over several hours. several more hours of stitching. have to remember to find a comfortable position while stitching. don't avoid sitting on the cloth.
had a lot of fun here. everything just flowed. if my fingers (and my back) would've held up, i think i could've done a lot more.
i basted all the outer edges with leftover pieces of floss like a tied quilt so i can easily cut later to insert more fabric as i go. will be working on the quilting over the next several days.
i'm feeling agitated this morning. granddaughter and grandson decided i did not need any alone time this weekend. they were back to their old lock picking ways. add to that caffiene, icky rash and fruit flies. i'm on the edge. and i'm trying to talk myself down. hahahahaha

Weaving and unraveling
these are my two latest pieces for the cloth to cloth class.
i accidentally realized that light shines through this block.
this is all just pinned not yet basted. i think because i wasn't totally sure of the framing fabrics, but i'm gonna just go for it and leave em be.
this is the same type of weaving with as the previous post only with a backing. yellowish fabric is from an old 1970's sheet and it was a nice accident that the circle of the flower appeared in the lower block. the print is also a little darker than it's looks in this photo.
so that was the weaving... now the unraveling. this class is amazing. not only am i learning more about the feel and personality of cloth, i'm learning about the feel and personality of me. cloth is magic.
remembering my lifelong friendship i've had with natural cloth. how a certain blanket gave me comfort and security as a child. how silk ribbons rubbed against my cheek calmed me down. tears and fights with mom over polyester pantsuits and turtlenecks... hahahahaha they suffocated me! loving my levis, indian print gauze blouses, fringe leather mocs...
also learning an organic organization for working and enjoying. the natural process seeping over into and making it's way out to the outer overlooked corners of my experience. :thanks to suzanna and grace: for the words on the quiet and the slow.
i yam what i yam.

Getting it together
it's been a long time since i've taken a class. the class i'm taking is a freeform freeflowing one and thank goodness. i'm still a little overwhelmed. i am really slow. i'm realizing more about how i work... my :thought to manifestation: process. i take a lot of time thinking about things. which can be good, but i'm realizing where it makes me stop action. where it stops the freeflow from :wherever things come from:.
also realizing just how quiet i am. probably a mixture of shy and just not inclined to talking a lot. i think a lot about what i see, but it feels only relevant to me. i'm not used to voicing my thoughts all time. feels strange to me. probably a cultural thing. runs against the grain of this internet world. i'm trying to figure out how to make a balance of this, since i obviously want to participate in this forum (i'm here).
can't forget to factor in the grandbaybees... a terrible two and a frazzling four... :)
so i'm in the process of figuring it all out or at least as much as i can, from what i'm aware of at this point...
Unspeakable speaking
this is something i came up with several weeks ago
when i was thinking about the unspeakable elements. i'd forgot about it and just came across this photo. i don't think i'll be working on it right away. the new blue is the line leader in my thoughts.
it's a rough rough throw together of the weaving method from jude/spirit cloth. these strips are leftovers from previous projects.
this is a set aside.
