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 

The Inner Cloth
A Longer View
The Outer Cloth
 Possibilities to ponder......

BEHIND THE FAN

I MISS MY OLD CAMERA
It was removed from my handbag at a trusted location. Sigh.
And so goes 'attachment'.

SEE YOU BEFORE THE NEXT FULL MOON

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



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.

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.“

PATTERN IN TAPESTRY

Detail
Kiki Smith's New Show 
Currently at The Neuberger Museum in Purchase NY NY

Three large (ca. 9 x 6 ft.) Jacquard
titled Earth, Underworld and Sky, which are filled
with Smith’s mystical folk imagery: female and male figures, flora and other fauna, constellations. The velvety texture of the tapestry, Smith says, brings attention to “the preciousness of being on earth.”
