just very small things. The subtlety of so much. Here, for instance, the b in the word. so subtle that it's only there when written in black and white. When spoken, so illusive as just not there. like the D in Saskia's dog's name, Django. the D is silent. Why? do we put letters in words that are Silent?
Pretty much the same time as yesterday, but a very different day. Colder. WIND. tonight, not bare foot but back to wool socks and boots. Not subtle at all.
but the colOUR of this cloth, subtle. So subtle that i could NOT get it right. It's a scrap of Deb Lacativa's dye pot Magic. Where has it been? Today was like seeing it for the first time. and i couldn't get the part that appears here as a kind of uhhh, rose color to appear as i saw it with my naked eye…a redwine color, very deep, with an orangeish. It is truly extra ordinary. Way.
was looking at that scrap in terms of this Cloth, of Transmigration which is going to be O So interesting to find out what kinds of subtlety IT might ask for………… Am loving looking so Loong before beginning.
there are seven Crows and seven Goats. Everything that needs to be is Present. Subtle here had to do with trying to photograph at the end of this day when the available light was not so much available. I tried a couple times and then just used the flash that changes things in subtle ways but i can see the red thread, dangling down on both sides. Do i cut those dangling threads SHORT? Leave them as is? They are really, a very small "components". just the long danglings of a single strand of embroidery thread. Nothing much at all. Yet they change things in a not so subtle way. To my eye, they Soften the impact of the Red Line. Gentle it.
Does this tell the truth of this "story"? or does it change it? I like very much how the Red Thread dangles on both sides. Like looking at that. But, really, that's not what this Story is about. So, tomorrow, i will cut them. Leave it how it is, almost, stark. That line. THAT'S the story. a Stark red line.
