I also agree that books and cloth are the most difficult to let go. And, in my case, other art supplies that I collected over the years and not used. Weeks ago I finally got rid of some unused oil color tubes and other things, bringing them to the school where I work. It is easier to let them go if someone else appreciates them.

Less...maybe 1/2 is enough
It is time to cut my fabric collection in half. There is no attic or second floor in this house. We knocked the ceilings out and there are 2 loft areas accessed by a ladder on one side and stairs on the other. One half is where the cloth lives ( I can only stand up in the middle). Anyw...

Dedication
This morning I finished this. I added some small details and changed its name to Nine Lives in memory of sweet Was. I t is a simple piece and it says so much. Like a life, it is a map of days that leaves evidence of going and the freedom in that. And it has a sense of continuing withi...

I still think it's a wonderful project, although life brought me away from it, for different reasons.

I think exactly the same. I can't imagine what's in these people's minds, when they pretend to have made what they haven't really created.

Mom always says... if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. So , without naming names....just let me say, it is very sweet of you to enjoy my photos, but please do not use them as your own. Was that nice enough? * some old scrap, folded over, stiched and dyed, seems s...

this morning i am holding the conversation close. framing it up and adding some memory of patchwork which is always a resting place for me. i ran out of words a couple of days ago . this conversation is going somewhere without words. i am using that to get back. allowing some sympathy for m...

reflection in september
we got enough rain for a year last night.
Just like Elspeth says, it reminds me of a map. A map like this from Jerry Gretzinger.

the walnut shirt -part 2
it always annoys me that the facing on the button hole side of a shirt isn't stitched down. and how it wrinkles up after washing. so i stitched it down. i think i thought about that for 15 years or so. some things take time. i like the way it has given the edge more weight. and stability. th...

we are in between. power will be up and down through tomorrow. walnut over indigo. nice. and oak gifts have begun. i will try to load up some of the feathers i just received in between power up and down. in between stitching. and fixing.
It's a wonderful project and I want to contribute to it as well. But it's taking me some time to start my own feathers... As you said, it is a slow project, so, I hope not to be too late.

the walnut shirt
a long time ago my son decided that this old linen shirt of mine should be his. and he wore it to school all the time. and then one day the school bully picked a fight and tore the pocket off the shirt in the process. my son was suspended from school because of the fight. the policy was that b...
My heart is with you and all these people who lost something due to the hurricane. Sorry for them and happy, at the same time, for you.

redefining flag
so i finished this hand stitched flag. with evolution in mind. it is hand woven of recycled cloth. indigo for healing, worn corduroy to symbolize hard work. it has a shisha mirror center for reflection ( or a looking glass to go through) and a few strips of my first handwoven cloth (1973).....
