{WIP-Finished}...

Today

poem stitching is finished and I have

submitted it for consideration to the Tis Gallery show Piece and Poem

which begins Feb 22



 Close up of additional hand stitching and flowers.

The poem that I created of the fabric strips reads:

I

want to step

beautiful

through

today.

The

truth

of existence

now.

So

sacred

is

your

Life.

~autumn

The main poem reads:

Today

I

do not

want to step so quickly

over a beautiful line on God’s palm

as I move through the earth’s

marketplace

today.

I do not want to touch any object in this world

without my eyes testifying to the truth

that everything is

my Beloved.

Something has happened

to my understanding of existence
that now makes my heart always full of wonder

and kindness.

 

I do not

want to step so quickly

over this sacred place on God’s body

that is right beneath your

own foot

As I

Dance with

Precious life

Today.

~ Hafiz 

{ so, What's Been Happening, You Ask?}...

Well tax season (my 10th) is over.  So that would help explain

why I have not been blogging or posting lately.

But I'm back with exciting news.  First up I am doing a solo show (my first)

at Tis Gallery for the entire month of May.   So for you locals I hope you can all stop by.

Here is the official poster.  Patti over at Tis designed it and I love how it came out.

 She's been so helpful.  Patti if you see this - Thanks again

I will start setting up Tuesday or Wednesday this week.

And will be in and out as time permits except for the two listed receptions which I will of course be there for.

Hope to see you.

This is the last show I am scheduled to do this year.

I've decided to take a new direction away from the Les Femmes shows which many of you know me from.

I want to explore some new ideas in my art and do some personal art work.  All of which

takes time.  So it may be a year or two before I do another public show.  Or who knows what exciting

opportunity may come along that I jump into.

I will keep posting what I am up to on my blog.  So keep checking in and let me know

what you think.

And I still have that Erosion Bundle buried in the yard that I am sooooooooo

wanting to dig up.  Perhaps even later today.
