a whole third image is missing.   It's a Typepad Night.   But this is ok enough.   i tried hanging this CLOTH between trees,  but they are so uhhhhh,   intermingled in this Forest…for a straight space.  I'll do that later,  is Beauty Full in its way,  but i wanted to see this Cloth like this.   Its Whole Self.   This is Deb Lacativa.   There are no words that can Tell.  Damask.  a Being.  It is Alive.

sitting inside here…at the worktable,  i was transported BACK to all the Art Markets,  Ann Arbor Michigan,  Eugene Oregon,  Sante Fe New Mexico….the Spaces i constructed at those markets for selling my work…then,  the  "dolls" and gourds.  Such another life,  another me.   Here,  today,  an old woman at a Garden on a Hill.   in California,  the Canary of Climate Change.

i read somewhere this week….a "survey"  of white women about their present sense of things in regard to their inclination to Vote….the words that stood out as emblematic were:  they find it        "bothersome.  all this racial unrest".    

Oh,  do you,   i think.  After 400 years,  you find it………bothersome?   Well then.  and ok.

    So happy you shared the whole cloth .. a pure treasure of happiness. I like when you share bits and pieces of your past chapters. We all have so many stories to tell .. I’ll be spending a few day in Iron Mountain at the end of the week and as always will be thinking about you. To be where you have been is always a fun feeling. With so many of my family and friends here there and everywhere it’s a game I often. This November more than any other must Vote .. please please Vote.

    I find certain women bothersome…… many people of both sexes to have ugly interiors. I have said I had no religion growing up and I had no indication of different colors of people either. My elementary school had all the colors of children. I find this hatred of difference to be… unending…….well, I will vote…..but I see no end to the hate.

    I love seeing it here. I had nowhere to hang it and back up far enough to take a picture of the whole thing. Thank you for giving it purpose.

    Deb’s gift cloth is just beautiful hung like a stained glass window. (I enjoy clicking to enlarge your photographs.)
    In the early 70s I often went to the Saturday Market in Eugene. Perhaps we met.
    I wonder where/how/by whom the white lady poll was taken. Sometimes, when I’m feeling rather immature and petulant, I imagine being invisible, and just bitch-slapping stupid people…

    OH!!!!!!!!!! the Eugene Market!!!!! for me it wasn’t
    till the 80’s but just that you KNOW that market…
    how GREAT a Place…i had such times. There was a
    guy, a street person i think, who would cruize the
    dumpsters behind all the great restaurants and bring us
    a smorgasbord to share. Was so heartfelt i could never say no. That’s when i lived in Horton, on the mountain.
