in the studio

After a bit a of taking care of health, hearth, and home, I have moved to the studio for some cloth and thread therapy and dreams.  Of wide open spaces, clear blue skies and fields as far as the eye can see. You have driven past them all your life, haven't you? I have.


And the rivers, streams, brooks and creeks, wending their way around the earth. All the elements moving, moving and moving. We tend to think of them as static and unchanging, I think. But water, in particular, is such a force, even when still on top of a lake.

yes, even in the quiet shushing of the shoreline wave. Still moving moving moving.

earth

I've started a new multi-media series on the four elements, earth, air, fire, water (no not the music group!) Here's the fiber start wip, earth:

About 16" square, and still a lot to go, this is fabric, beads, hand and machine sewing, couching going on.

Inspired by aerial maps, topography and especially volcanic flow.. this will evolve (ha!) into an art quilt, eventually!

slow, steady work, earth is..
