sometimes, actually, a LOT of TIMES, when for whatever reason, i cannot fully go in to the sewing, it helps me to just look at these things on the wall. sometimes when i am doing other "activities of daily living", ADLs, i come across a ripped out pic from a magazine; now this is mostly national geographics and sometimes pics from the Gallery publication that they have at the airport here.............and i just pin them on the wall. this particular one was there alone for a long time. months. then, i was looking for a scrap and came across this very small little thing that came in a packet from Jude. so that went on top of the ripped out paper pic. then just a couple weeks ago, this fragment from a piece of Deb Lacativa's cloth was lying on the table and i took it over to become the arch.
it's beautiful, isn't it. i won't ever use that fragment from Jude in a cloth...it's hers. but what it will cause for me is that sometime, i will stitch some form onto a very small piece of something and it might have similar energetic spirit????? maybe.
the faces at the top are a cloth i lucked out in getting from Jude's shop. i had watched it in it's evolving forms for a while and was totally surprised when it appeared in the shop. it is an extraordinary piece of her Art and also had a lot of personal meaning to me... it is called : The Spirit of Self Deception "a reminder that everything is not always pretty. a playing card sort of thing, maybe a hand you dealt yourself"
