i don't love this Cloth. I didn't in the beginning and i haven't all along. But it HAS happened that when i'm unsure, something will appear that changes things. Not here. So this morning i folded it and poked it into one of the scrap baskets thinking that sometime there will be the urge to cut something out of it, use it elsewhere. But i went back not long after and unfolded it, put it on the wall, the OtherSide of Magic Diaries, and all day off and on i stood in front of it looking. I will, choose, to keep working on it. There is a lot i can learn from that, with the stitching, the use of the Inktense Pencils, the incorporating of the very abstract small images with the rest. Balancing that top heaviness with what is below. A LOT i can learn. And it's a good time for that. The days are fragmented by doing all the small things that need to be done, like today, cleaning the wood splitter, the oil that leaks out...it's hydraulic...getting it ready to load. Loading the truck with all that goes to the Thrift Shop from yesterday. Putting in their places all the things to KEEP and TAKE that rose to the surface yesterday. There's an urge to take days "off", daydream that other Cloth, but i choose to keep going with the small necessary things so that when it's time, i'll be Easy with things. I want to be Easy with things.
salt cedar...it's most Beauty FULL year yet.
