the strips are…hmmm,  firm.  like they would be,  if this were a real loom.  firmly in place.  firm.

they are invisibly basted,  but after my finger made them firm,  like would happen on a loom.  the feeling of doing that was great pleasure.  moving them in.  inTo one another.  it felt really really good.  the only strip loose now is the diamond/dot,  life of all things, strip.  i am not sure about that one.  will wait.

work away day.  and when i got there, on the kitchen counter next to the cobalt glass fruit bowl was a large paper shopping bag.   the above in it.  these are livestock water tank floats.  Copper.  now there are 5 here.  the first is in the diamond child buddha garden which is now the Woad garden,  child buddha having moved to the baby goat grave by the Raft.   the second hangs over Ramone's grave,  from the Desert Willow just outside the Inside gate.   now.  where do These go?  and How?

the oldest.  look at this corrosion.   the dents in it are from someone breaking ice in the water tank in Winter with a tool.

they are like Planets to me.

    If you hung them from something so the could almost touch would they make sounds if they did, moved by the wind?

    Beautiful round tbings. All those colors. I want to touch them. I’m also wondering if they could become wind chimes.

    Yes, definitely planets…or Christmas ornaments. They make me want to make up stories about them.

    Maybe mars (red), the moon speckled black on white and Venus might be blue…surely Venus was blue, metaphorically speaking. Who wouldn’t be if made to stand forever as female beauty in stone. What a fate! Better to be digging in the dirt for radishes, or rolling in the hay for no reason at all. Better to be weaving cloth, dreaming dreams, just going.

    Orbs of wonder: I would hang them to see if the wind danced around them like Tracy suggested. I would wet cloths, per Judith’s idea, and wrap and drape them all around just letting the sun dry them, just for a while to see what would develop on the cloth. Most of all I would hang them different places and then sit under each one, lost in their depths, staring up at them, the sky, the trees, feeling wind and sun and bliss…

    When you hang the planets, and they move around in some naturally evolving orbit, your yard will be like another universe within the larger universe. Actually, it already is, isn’t it?!
