DYE BUNDLE REVEAL

Two  24X18 white cotton sheeting cloths, one inside the other, were loaded up with a rusty cookie tin cover, copper pennies and a rusty iron circular piece of hardware + copper pennies.

Then tied and submerged 

with leaves twigs, seeds and black walnut dye pot.

The Outer Cloth

 Possibilities to ponder......

LIVE BUT CONFINED

...and much the worse for wear

COMING HOME TO MY GARDEN

BEHIND THE FAN

I MISS MY OLD CAMERA

It was removed from my handbag at a trusted location. Sigh.

And so goes 'attachment'.

NOW AND THEN

 2010-1970

SEE YOU BEFORE THE NEXT FULL MOON

Presented with apology since I can't recall where I got this wonderful image

 

LISTEN
	Looking at the Sky by Anne Porter I never will have time I never will have time enough To say How beautiful it is The way the moon Floats in the air As easily And lightly as a bird Although she is a world Made all of stone. I never will have time enough To praise The way the stars Hang glittering in the dark Of steepest heaven Their dewy sparks Their brimming drops of light So fresh so clear That when you look at them It quenches thirst.

Ponies running on Tibetan plains,

three men in a parlor elsewhere--

These are the contrasts my mind contains at any given moment.

REVIVAL

By Lucy Shaw

THREAD PATTERNS

 

Hand dyed silk with monofiliment thread machine stitched over.

 “My gardens provide a never-ending source of inspiration and solace.  My pieces try to capture a blossoms’ essence, their energy and the awe I feel when experiencing their beauty.  Their images express my thoughts on life and find they are a perfect metaphor for life’s processes of birth, aging and death.“

Three large (ca. 9 x 6 ft.) Jacquard

Tapestries
