for the last few days, my life has been filled with people. this is not ordinary anymore. and this is all i have been able to do with the Diaries cloth.
can you see the sitting buddha figure inside the cut out circle of one of Glennis' linen moons????
and look at this ~!~ this cloth from Deb Lacativa just look at the incredible color, coloUr....i can hardly believe it.
so, the people days will continue for a while yet. i hope to get some thread on the Glennis circle before i take the Diaries cloth over to let the visitors look at it upon repeated request late this afternoon. i'll pin it to her kitchen cabinets. and answer questions. and then we will all go to the Farmer's Market if the rain stops.
the other part of all this is that over the weekend, a friend who is visiting her son in Albuquerque came. we decided we hadn't seen each other in somewhere around 25 years. i had not seen her son in longer. we sat at the table for EIGHT hours straight talking. sometimes there was music too. both of them musicians, she sings. and during this, the images in that Kaleidoscope arranged and re arranged and slowly swirled and twirled themselves into familiar patterns and ones i've never seen before. we became friends in our early 20's, worked together during that completely formative time for me at the psych hospital and then had our babies within months of each other twice. first the girls then the boys. so there is a lot of History there. a LOT of memories which we wove together in those hours. two women and the memories of a very little boy who is now 30 something.
Dru commented something the other day that would fit here perfectly. i wish i'd gone to that comment first so i could put it here....but it's ok. this will require a part 2, so it can be there.
and the last here is another piece of cloth from Deb L i cannot stop looking at it, touching it.... it exemplifies perfectly her soul connections with her work with dye and cloth. i'd like to say more about that too. but later.
and i don't know what "did it", of all this, but i woke as usual at around 4am and got up as usual to make coffee and realized i had an incredible headache, and then sweats, and then chills. either i ate something that wasn't good or it might be the wine consumed over these days??? but i went back to bed. i lay there then, drifting in and out of dreams, many of which were discussions and decisions about cloth shapes colors placement all moving within almost slow motion exchanges with people and certain images and scenes would magnify just like it happens here when you double click................... i finally got up at 10 something. i cannot remember ever doing that before.
