both of which i learned from Jude.   Jude Hill,  Spirit Cloth.    

The deep pleasure of them.   How i do the stitching i guess isn't either one,  but some kind of  hybrid?

What i want from the stitching sometimes  is the Beauty Full flow that's created visually and equally,  the complete melding of layers of cloths….totally and completely into One.   Often they give the cloth a feeling of some kind of Energetic Field.  This time,  it's an Energetic Field of Holding,  of Keeping?

I wanted to look again at the Boro book….the catalog:  Mottainai: The Fabric of Life     An exhibition  at the Portland Japanese Garden,  2011.   It's packed away.  But i knew which tub.

and just looking to day,  i knew i need to Boro those Hose Dresses even it means they won't be Hose Dresses again.  

so here,  the stitch is tighter than if i was just wanting Flow.   I DO want flow,  but a flow of an Energetic Field.   

Before any more of that though,  i need to see what goes on the stick.  the staff.  What is the word i am wanting here????  i can't find it.   it is a stick/staff  of declaration,  of both standing ground and the ground that is stood upon…the mutuality of that.  of Claiming…both ways,  mutual and it's Strong even tho it is invisible.
