in Jude's Whispering Hearts,  the lesson for today is about

securing edges

i have taken the day from the Daughter Cloth to work on this small moth cloth. 

002

the moth is not there, in the moment, because i wanted to make the moon's ripples first.  moth is just sitting in the basket.  waiting.

i spent most of the day trying to make the eye different.  i'm not sure at all what i wanted it to be,  but different.   softer somehow?maybe????  but it wouldn't.  no matter what i did, and i did a LOT,  it was just what it was.

    this is something. the ripples…that mysterious eye, i’m imagining the moth flitting about… really something.
    and your last post…about whether to work through, or just be….someone once told me that “through/transition” is a place all its own, a place that deserves attention. maybe that attention comes in the shape of just being in this place called “through”, whether it leads you to another place or right back to that light filled warm room. still thinking of you oox

    Funny how we see/feel things: you may be taking a break from daughter cloth but I see this little cloth also as a daughter cloth. When I look at this little cloth, daughter very much a presence because the eye and the bit of floating cloth near it remind me of little goat face.
