going again

after the day of not going.

 

From Here to There. Always under that same Moon $78

13 x 17  Mostly Deb Lacativa but small pieces of commercial in Here and then the Path…that blouse from young days.  The back,  Lace Lady's plant marked linen.  The Glennis moon.  

there did remain the folded bottom to create a pocket for keeping…maybe some artifacts of Here?

it's in the Shop, maybe spoken for.

 

F

a fragment of Sky and a soft piece  of Sun.  a Crow,  Goat,  Toad.  at the bottom, a stream.  There will be a fish.  I keep seeing the toad holding a flag.  I am resisting.  We'll see how that goes.  Maybe the Toad needs a flag.

    Isn’t it simply wonderful how the dye patterns suggest what’s there.

    i too like finding ‘things’ in dye patterns.
    toad could hold a grass stem…like a flag, but more toadish.
    i look forward to the day when solar is not so costly.

    the day…
    we knew it might be Something, but didn’t expect $20,000.
    regular electric hook up…you pay $1,400 for them to tell you
    how much it’s going to cost. Just to tell you. There, they say it’s between $7,000 and 14,000. like it’s some kind of odd unknown. if you decide to do the electric line, the 1,400 is factored in. If you can’t, as in if you don’t have 14,ooo, then they just keep that 1,400. ???????

    Hello Grace, it sure is amazing the different things we all see in patterns. The second I layed eyes on your cloth yesterday. I saw a broken doll. I thought, Idea!!?? Hope you don’t mind?? The animals you have seen are ofcourse there, and they are gorgeous!!
    Speaking of seeing things in patterns, I took a photo for you a couple of days ago, with my phone. When I figure out how to send it to you, will do it asap. Would email be okay?
    If only Solar power weren’t so expensive. If Mike n me were younger we would definately go back to wood, heating and cooking like we did in the 50’s. Candles and lamps for lights, I used a treadle sewing machine. Still, we do need power for computers etc these days.
    Seeya Grace, hugs from Marg ox

    Electric … Solar sounds like you all have another big hurdle to overcome. I’m so happy that you have your cloth to calm your thoughts. I do wish we lived in simpler times.

    going off grid works well, just start with a small array of panels and battery storage then add to it as more dollars become available, once you’re set up you don’t ever need to pay for electricity again, back in the mid 1980’s we set up a 6 solar panel array with a pelton wheel in the creek for overcast days and car batteries for storage with a 400 W inverter. This was enough to run 12V lighting, refrigeration, sewing machine, dentist drill & the music amps but for high voltage power tools we had a gasoline powered generator, noisy and uses fossil fuels but it worked
