first half of day,  stitched.  nothing much to show for the time, but a lot of "ground work" done.  wanting to bunch up the gauze at the edges but i won't.  it means something to My eye, but not for the whole of the cloth.

some of the older ones are learning to be Pack Horses.   too old to be desirable as Trail or Working horses,  they can have a good life this way.

some are still only allowing contact THROUGH the FENCE.  Wary.  Unpredictable.  Time is being taken with these.

this chair i got 20 years ago at a yard sale.  i needed a chair then and it was ok.  but i have always disliked the orange plastic of it.   Over the years it has always been ready to go to the dump.   it's in many of the pics here,  near the gate.  just sitting there.  but it never went.  so, while i am watching the burning,

i'll ask Paul who can do anything to cut me a new seat.    Linseed oil made the frame of it just OK enough.   My brother's friend will be coming back through soon…from Mexico, heading back home to Minnesota.  he wants the other chair at my table to match the one i gave him last year.  i'll need a chair.  this will be just OK.

so, good.  a day.

    Air under crows wing makes it ckear he/she is reading the wind brautifully.
    AND I can see he/she is in the foreground headed up higher, and she is further back following close, but not too close (thinking about the sizes of them indicating perspective)–I love that!
    GollY dyeing outside…something for me to look forward too in a month or so….right now I’ve got a bundle in a pot under the table.
    Those horses…the closeups so moving…what they’ve been through and how glad I am they are being treated so diligently, and understood.

    such a sense of lightness and freedom with the cloth–then the segue to the mustangs. the eyes. like being on the inside looking out but on the outside looking in at the same time. kinda like the Alz B cloth–what it would be like to see from inside their skull. And ooooooooooooooooo–the little wasp nest on the bottom of the chair seat.

    Curved wood and fitted joints, this could be a lovely chair with a little work and a cloth seat. Oh how the 15 year old girl in me wants to run away from home and live with the mustang woman… And this cloth makes me want to throw my arms wide and let goooooooo.
