spending time just looking at color and shape.  i sit in front of it and sew nine patches.   sewing down the seam sides with invisible stitch is just feeling so good.  the patch feels so uhh,  settled,  when this happens.   so,  again, just looking.  getting up now and then to try something else up there.  i expect this to continue on until July.            nothing is for sure yet except Jude's lizard and the moth moon.  and, of course, all the variations of that blue/green/grey.  but how that will be used, i don't know. as usual, i want to leave it in one piece, kinda just applique other pieces of cloth i love to it…but i have been working to move past that mentality and i want to continue with this One.  will have done a LOT of daydreaming by the time Magic Diaries begins.  and kantha.  there will be a lot of kantha on the borders…like the Window Hangers for Wendy's kids.  maybe a bell and a tassel, maybe hidden things, under flaps.   see?   this is how its going here.

    knowing how big the lizard is is giving me a better sense of scale. otherwise i would thing it was smaller.

    no, not small. the whole thing you see is about 3 1/2 ft
    top to bottom and side to side, incl. the light cloths on
    both sides is about 5ft. also, half of both the light
    side cloths are hidden under the big dark one.
    also, there’s another pretty big piece outside in the
    copper pot…that has all the old onion skin sludge and
    also…..am ashamed to say this, some of the little indigo
    plants that i finally thinned out. i was able to do that
    only because for some reason all of a sudden Tues morning
    many of the leaf edges had gotten black and crispy????
    it was the day that there was an extraordinary amount of
    ash and smoke in the air from that fire in Arizona…i
    don’t know if that had anything to do with it, but the
    Sun light was diffused in a very very odd way????
