morning face after up and down night,  dreams of Elephants,  worry re Old Cowboy stuff,  unable to keep from clicking on the "news ap" at 2 am to see how the immigrants are faring…..

Ready.  Harem cloth in middle,  the back,  the walnut saddened blue,  which is perfect.

Something is shifting with this Cloth….some kind of letting go to the Cloth its self,  to how the cloth fragments can tell the "story",  that is mutually mine and theirs.  Mutually being the key

    I know that you use layers of cloth for your cloth work but until now, I didn’t pay it much attention. For some reason, the layers on this cloth hold me and speak to me of the many layers that we build onto ourselves in times of need and with your journey with OCB, this all seems to come together here…

    It’s amazing to me what moving the storm piece up off the top of the shelter did to this. I’m going back and forth looking. I can breathe now and it feels more sheltering. Taking the time to look and being willing to listen is so important.
    It’s a bit early for me to be finding walnuts but a few have fallen and I did a simple pot–mashed hulls covered with boiling water–no simmering of the walnut hulls. I’m wanting to “sadden” every cloth in sight. Ha. I’m not sure what that says about me…

    Now you said the word”immigrants”, this cloth shows a lot of them moving slowly across the autobahn. Only one womans face is viseble………

    been visiting here on my phone, often in transit, so not commenting, but happy to read about your sky, your rain, your visits to the OCB … like Marti, this cloth really really struck me as having depth on account of the layers that I don’t remember seeing before. The mantis had depth, but more like a framing. This is different.

    i think it says that you are in keeping with the circling of season when after the moments of intensity, there is the Fade. Here
    the Fade has begun in full….color, intensity, back into Earth

    look at the way the teepee-shaped lattice points up to the dark blue, and also houses shadow. and how the face peers up from behind layers. there’s a lot of depth, or hints of depth. not flat at all.
