    oh my word, look how the land shark has become the lady of the land! And the crows, she is truly luring them.
    You have such a gift for these very very fine elements. This b/w photo (at least on my screen) is also very very striking, makes the sunlight come in a beautiful way.

    sort of a cross between an SOS and a “yoo-hoo, here i am sisters.” love the way it looks in b & w. and there’s a feeling here. don’t know if i can describe it. a certain lightness of spirit. an uplifting of sorts. is that Vision?

    She has the spirit of the dolls you used to make, to me at least, she reminds me of some I saw.. and the raft with the sail in your yard, now, no raft, but the flag – like a kite – is a sail. To me she is signaling the birds – hey, birds, here I am… find me, here, me!! So many stories here, so many gestures. I love that she almost doesn’t hold the pole, its balanced or attached maybe, just by a thread. I love this one.

    Hey Grace, it seems you have a wind catcher in your hands and the crows will come to ride on that wind, to soar and fall off the edge of the wind in that funny wonky crow way that they have – no elegance but full of belief in who they are. Crows were my nemesis when I lived out west, they came for the weak lambs, nature’s way of course but I couldn’t bear it, to see those vulnerable little creatures pecked at and harassed. It was a losing battle but I don’t hold it against them – it was either crows or eagles!

    no. all the Michigans had already gone. havn’t arrived
    yet. maybe Monday?.
    i thought about that while working on it today and it’s
    really wearing. this one is more than a “little” cloth.
    it’s a Medium cloth. how do you figure all that out?
    and i try to look at other people’s work…how do they
    decide pricing? and as Lynda said on her blog, how do
    you know that what you see, meaning me, is what anyone
    else would. and then i think about Saskia and her work and
    how she just goes. period. and how i admire that about
    her. so…blah blah blah.

    i’d like that to happen. i miss the dolls in a way
    and this allows for that. and actually, it’s what i’d
    hoped…to give the figure their environment……
