Little Grunge Book

 


Ciao my gentle readers..

it's been sunny but windy and sooo dry..

we had a small fire just south of us yesterday.

but the threat is ever present..





So I have been in the studio painting and when the painting is not coming together..
I stitch and do mixed media..
I love the layers and textures of 
my little book..






the book has been speaking to me of course and it seems to recall
memories..

that which we have had..
the places we have been...

and places we may go



right now, I have two paintings and two books in the 

progress state..

but it is gardening time and that takes time in the morning 

we have so much that needs to be cut back for the new growth..


I will have some photos of my spring flowers soon..


sending you all my best...

Slow Stitched Book

 



Well dear ones.

so far this book has no name..

even though I have been stitching quietly..





it just hasn't come to me yet...





The pages are papers and I have written and ripped back bits.. used paint and black ink..




I also tea dyed the fabric cover and the lace tie..





and stitched the signatures and the cover edges of the book




It's been very peaceful working on this one with no agenda at all


I have no plan in mind and I am simply letting it go where it will..

and that is how I spend my days..

releasing and letting go..

but holding the intention that 

all is well.


I will let you know what

 "the book with no name"

will be called as soon as it whispers it to me.


C4N!!

Milagro-WIP





My sweet Milagro book

is still a work in progress 


gentle readers..






But I expect it to be finished shortly...

I love the little hidden covers..

like the cloth cover below..





 


and this tiny flap in the photos below..

now what is hidden is what I have to be told..

I know the book is about 

Sacred Sight

and miracles of seeing things clearly..








So I am sure the perfect thing will make itself known to me..

Yes. it will be listed in my gallerie soon..

and yes, I have interest in it already..


Staying focused on what I can control 

and not on what I can't

is how I am continuing to create



and tiny stitches always help..
