a beginning of a different kind

 

this doesn't seem like much of a change for a whole day,
but it is.
aside from a photograph in better light,( as in real light v.s.
flash with interference of hallway light last night )
i did another daring thing.
i set the scissors to a piece of wind that i'd gotten in a fragment
pack from jude months ago. it is the first of either of the two
packs that i will have
cut
and used. always thinking it is too special.
a shift
and here, this wind will be, maybe placed differently, but
am pretty sure, on this cloth.
i worked the rest of the time on the image of the
raven, it's wing…

    gillian, i dont want to push wherepush shouldnt be but also want tosay that this blog thing is notabout anything, really, yet. inmy estimation. it is only aboutpeople connecting in a very vulnerable way.i understand you wanting to wait for jude. all of us trust her.funny…that is maybe something shemight need to hear/know…how all of us trust her. in a very deepsense of the word.ok…well…i guess is will just wait. butstill, saying that what you makeis unusual and really excellent.xo

    Hi there – well I am mulling over your words of wisdom and in the last 24 hours I am getting very inclined towards creating a blog. I dont want to post photos at beasts until Jude has had her re-juvenation time -just cos there is prolly more likelihood of something going wrong with photos- and it may disturb her. Plus it is good to kind of be rejuvenating alongside her. My raven is incy- worried it will just look like a blob – Ill try it out first. Yours will be graceful and balanced, in harmony with your cloth. G

    its hard to cut into fabric you have been hoarding for a while – but then suddenly the time is right

    Well, of course your wind came from Jude! Dont you find that photographing it helps with the decision making as you add and subtract elements. And tell Gillian that I started blogging during Judes workshop because I wanted to stay connected to this community…loving it.
