I made my Mom a small quilt that I mounted on stretcher bars covered with fabric ...I had done some rubbings way back last thanksgiving .....onto fabric I had dyed...then I hand stitched and FME'd etc....I like the way it changed the look when mounted....
then my daughter made me
this....fresh berries and whipped cream...yum

creating without intent

a few weeks ago I spent a saturday painting and dyeing and coloring and tying and ripping and squeezing and spraying and twisting


this is the result in the laundry sink...


I have no plans for any of it...some of it had been played with before...but had been uninspiring so back to the playground..











these 2 pieces are similar in color but one got "splashed" with gold and the other "squared"








this is the beginning of a piece that began with scraps of wonder-undered bits. and paper ..I like the effect that it gives for a " background " against which the image can live ...creating these backgrounds is a pure mindless joy that just eats up time as the piece builds....then at some point it talks to me and becomes more specific in the need to tell the story it contains.....I am just a vessel..... 

a pretty picture for a whiny post

i have not felt well....achy, crabby, sore, tired, for about a month....the best was last weekend...but all in all not the best month...i spend time laying around and then getting up to search the web for info about what my problem is.....poop.....hormones...or lack there of....???...or just general crankiness??? ..... 

look at this moth that was on the side of our house last weekend....it was the biggest moth I have ever seen....probably 3 inches from top to bottom
