this has been on the wall for years.  since Jude's Cloth 2 Cloth.  i've looked long enough.

it's going to be taken apart.  how much?  i don't know.  what will happen next?  i don't know.

see the little box stitched there?  i'll miss that.  but…..

went out to feed Goats and my gaze was caught by a Shape.  i'd been trimming and raking yesterday and in the raked pile was this branch.   how perfect it is in the Alz B vase that nothing else was "right" in.   a beauty Full Unforseen.

    well…i’m not sure. it’s like maybe, the “scene” is
    set. has been set. and the cloth has cleared it’s
    throat in the way someone does when they are about to
    Say something.

    the whole feel of bottom photo, all those wavy, soft lines and the being able to look through or maybe not, it’s a beautiful restful image

    The colors in your woven cloth are amazing beautiful. It’s just wonderful the way it is, but I am curious to see what else might happen to it. I haven’t visited for a very long time and just caught up on your adventures and musings this morning. They are all very interesting to me–useful for living life. Thanks for sharing.

    I’m with you on the stick, completes the vase. The cloth – when I’ve had enough of a piece, i incorporate it into something else, either as part of a larger thing, or cut into smaller pieces and put in where it seems good. Or put in a drawer for the next strike of inspiration, when I’m clearing out again and rediscover things.

    So much happens when I can’t come by for a few days! All really inspiring me, making me think about the process of ‘what if’, about making meaning. Thank you Grace, and extra love.

    Been “away” for awhile so I decided I’d check-in to see what you have been up to, always an inspiration. I’m looking forward to seeing the changes you make to this weaving. And I too love it just the way it is. Also REALLY loving your Wind cloth. So amazing to watch the evolution of your body of work. Blessings.
