a LOT of looking and i can't imagine it working,  but am not ready to give up yet.  many single invisible baste stitches to try to get a sense of what to do.   

and i wanted Crow to be made of Earth so i used that walnut overdye again but he needs black wings at least.  one so far.  

but i was too restless.  would no more sit  down and settle everything on my lap to stitch and i'd get up again.   Watched for the storms that are supposed to come this evening and in the night.

i'd noticed when the company was here that Dalai Lama was at risk.  i am always aware that he's not quite glued down anymore, but other's don't notice.  he lasted through the visit and i decided now was the moment to apply the first coat of  (re) sealer.  Did that.  but then…

i went up to see what Alz. B was up to.  was lunch and she was at her usual place in the dining room, with one leg slung over the arm of her chair as she does,   but she was eyes wide open.  this is not the norm.   so we went from there…she looked at me.  then away to something internal.   drank her glass of juice  (straw)  but proceeded to let every mouthful (fed by spoon) fall out of her mouth.  not spitting it out as she sometimes does,  but just letting it fall out onto her shirt (bib).  

so back home.

where i got on a roll….

and THIS  is the good of posting things at the end of each day.  by this time in the evening,  the days thoughts and events have sifted down, settled…..  and i know in this moment that that idea of silk gauze isn't going to work.  no matter what i do.  there's going to need to be another way.  ok.

    Restless here too, rain or snow shower late tonight and into tomorrow just when the pear trees are setting blossoms. It helps to see the Dali Lama’s smiling, serene face. All day antsy feeling, added more Chinese Pistache cloth strips to Desert Meadow cloth, then looked at lower part of cloth, the wide expanse of “meadow”, decided it was too big so tore strips off and it all came together again, raggedy but ok; so like this day…

    if you spray it with a mist of water and them let it sit under something heavy, it will smash the wrinkles into it. i find if i glue stitch it all down it still retains the movement and dimension because of the sheer and shadow effect. if you have something dark underneath it exaggerates that.

    it happens that way. again. maybe the blooms are just
    for the bees.
    i hear it. feel it. the tearing of strips, the tearing of strips.
    raggedy. like the day. which is so very very
    good.

    Watching this with great interest. If you can’t make it work… maybe just a few gauze clouds? I love the idea of it. I want to fly with the crows.

    interesting, isn’t it, how energies can prevail around the
    planet…each of us having our own focal point, but
    Restlessness….

    i think it’s GOOD. how amazing and what a relief.
    so much wanting to make “AIR”…that which is in and around everything, the space inbetween everything that we refer to as material…but inbetween is AIR which is vibrant, FULL,
    moving and Energetic….

    i Sigh. Eleven is so not much when it comes to two
    days in a row. Eleven. eeeeeee.
    the relief you will feel when this cold breaks will
    fill you to overflowing…but for now….to simply
    Wait…oh…..i think of you….
