had an exchange with Liz today…about assigning Joy and Sorrow to everything… that is just about being alive.  I look at that.

Gaia II     No questions here.  Cloth made it clear and straightforward.  That moon eye is of Deb Lacativa.  The petals,  again….thrift shop clothing…a blouse…the Other Side of the print, and i want to use some of the Inktense pencils to soften it, maybe.  More maybe,  again.

my friend, Goldie.  it's a daredevil leap from the porch to this very narrow ledge.

the really good idea about posting early in the day doesn't seem much more than a good idea.  Early in the day,  there are things Going On.    and not just me,  but like unforecasted thunderstorms.  so i'm back to the old routine,  the end of the day,  when all is pretty much softened,  quieted.  Maybe it's just that i've gotten used to it.    I thought to day how i used to write REAMS in the morning…beginning before first light.   Reams.  Like 10 page letters to people,  hand written  but now…all there is  is this reporting of the day.  Hmmmm.

    Your fabric work today–wow. It all came together. With help from some amazing fabric friends.
    I had some German water pencils and tried one on a bit of cloth. May do more.
    Perhaps make some moons. I have none.

    don’t know. but i do know that the Inktense are color fast on
    fabric. and i love them because i can apply them as pencil
    but with water can smear them…fade/blend is a nicer term,
    but fade them in so the effect is muted and soft…i use
    a very stiff paint brush that i’ve cut flat at an angle

    The Cloth arrived from your hands to mine today Grace. It is so beautiful in person, the eye that sees nothing and everything, such soft old cloth and beautiful colours. The man is very sick today and the cloth is a comfort to me. Love to you…….

    YES….sees nothing and everything…so much YES.
    comfort for a time of COMFORTING…dear Man…Dear you
    it’s dusk right now and i feel you so strongly, i imagine
    that cloth there….so so far from here
    i feel how beyond amazing it is that something from Here can
    be There, that we both can TOUCH the same thing…how grateful
    we should be for that Miracle, yes? yes. If nothing else,
    that we can SEND.
    it’s just, well….unimaginable to me, really. Your Place
    where you care for hedgehogs.
    It’s this kind of knowing that helps me so much as i prepare
    for Going. How Every Place is Sacred and Holy and in the hands
    of a Woman.
    Love. Love back to you and love to all you love.
