what i wish and how it Is.

i wish i could just stitch pieces of cloth together.  I could,  i guess,  but i can't it seems.  But i could…like Jude taught…pairings for instance,  or even a 9 patch

 

why don't I ?

it seems it's how my life has always been,  serial monogamy….

the Cloth is making Sound,  i am just not understanding,  am somehow not letting go of some image that the Cloth doesn't want.  And so we wait.

there was a line of sediment from the tap water here.   It's in everything where the water is left to evaporate…dog bowl for instance…so i filled it with vinegar to sit in SUN's light and heat  

i don't know what's going on in my head.  I just drift,  thought to thought,  thought to somewhere where  i am not really even Present,  but somewhere Else that has no images and words but i Go there to that Place then float back.  Just floating,  drifting,  Sensing,  sensing, mostly.  sensing.  In the evening i give water to Plant People,  squat and notice how the day has changed them

    that’s such a beautiful piece of glass, good score!
    and re different approaches to porcess, today Robyn Gordon of Art Propelled shared this different way of approaching the thing that wants to fall out of your hands but gets kind of stuck in the translation that many folk are resonating with-
    “To keep your process flowing, to feel the enjoyment of creation, you first need to go where it is easy. Easy means ripe. Go where you are attracted, whether it be toward a detail or a large shape. While you work on the part that is easy, other parts will mature in you, and they will be ready and waiting. You move step by step, from the easiest to the easiest. It is never tedious or tiring because there is no need to force anything. Depth resides more in surrendering to spontaneity than in hardworking struggle.” – Life, Paint and Passion by Michele Cassou and Stewart Cubley
    PS I will add here that this technique doesn’t work for me but that’s because I do everything in the most circuitous, indirect & impossible way I can manage but it’s different strokes for different folks ahe?

    Lovely contrast of the two vessel shots. Since I’m not stitching, I have no useful or useless advice, but none was asked anyway. Besides, drift, and float is what I do best so it seems natural. You’re remembering to feed the plant and critter folk, and hopefully yourself, and I’m remembering just what I absolutely need to remember……..so…waving from my place to yours where either or both of us are, or are not fully present.
