Dear journal It's been a week since I last wrote. I've been working at collecting images to upgrade my website so it has been busy. This blog rarely posts my finished work. If I want to share finished work, I need an organized site. But it is computer work and that gives me a neck ache. Seeing artwork in real life (irl) is so much better. All this week I've stayed indoors. I've started to use the stationary bike again, after a long break from it. The bike is in my studio so that while I do my pedaling, I am able to look at what's on the design wall. Penny and I are having another show together, and we've started planning more seriously. I've been making brand new work for that, and feel happy. I'm also getting to the edges of this sunny-rainy piece. It is becoming distorted. I pull the threads very snugly to encourage the distortion I stitch around thoe velvet rainy-mushroom shapes three times Not sure if I love it anymore. meanwhile the world goes on meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscape over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers.... mary oliver the images of the sweaters with holes are from the book, Habitus by Ann Hamilton.
The veteran actress says she is determined to keep working into her ninth decade.

There’s a new indie pattern designer to check out — Daughter Judy. Chelsea launched recently with four patterns and I immediately bought three of them! I’m not in the brain space …

this piece has taken on a stubborn silent quality - it will not be defeated. a few things have become evident the dots below the horizon - are they the safety net I think about - or are they in this case, a depth we cannot fathom value - the lightness (and darkness) of the threads is so important and I've had to change some of the threads because they were too disturbing there is no eye level focal point - instead, a feeling of being lost in the woods - the comfort usually associated with wool blankets is altered gravity - the heavy materials and dark colours have an emotional gravity as well as a physical one movement forward - it seems as if the piece is pushing against the wind rather than allowing itself to be blown freely. An old man pulling his heavy coat across him, his hat down, shutting his eyes, trudging on. touching - the marks made by the wool threads make us want to pet it with the nap, along the grain, up and down and in circles. I do anyway. "It is a surprising and memorable, as well as valuable, experience to be lost in the woods any time. Not till we are completely lost, or turned around, for a man needs only to be turned round once with his eyes shut in this world to be lost - do we appreciate the vastness and strangeness of nature. Not till we are lost, in other words, not till we have lost the world, do we begin to find ourselves, and realize where we are, and the infinite extent of our relations." Thoreau

About Judy Moody va a la universidad / Judy Moody Goes to College Unas pocas sesiones con un tutor de matemáticas de edad universitaria convierten a Judy en una princesa poligonal que dice jerga. ¡Crucial! Judy Moody está de humor. No de buen humor. Y definitivamente NO es un estado de ánimo matemático. El maestro sustituto en la clase 3T cree que las habilidades matemáticas de Judy necesitan mejorar. Entonces Judy tiene que comenzar a reunirse con un tutor de matemáticas. ¿Esto significa tarjetas flash? ¿Esto significa juegos para bebés? ¿Esto significa escuela los fines de semana? Pero cuando Judy conoce a su tutor, una estudiante universitaria increíblemente enferma con un sentido de estilo súper funky, y vislumbra la vida universitaria, la mala matemática de Judy se convierte en una radical alegría. Muy pronto, Judy no solo está actuando en su clase de matemáticas; ella es la dueña. ¡Es hora de decir adiós a Judy Moody, vieja estudiante de tercer grado y saludar a Miss College! Capp sin grasa al revés, pequeño y alto, con látigo extra, ¿alguien? ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A few sessions with a college-age math tutor turn Judy into a jargon-spouting polygon princess. Crucial! Judy Moody is in a mood. Not a good mood. And definitely NOT a math mood. The substitute teacher in Class 3T thinks Judy’s math skills need improving. So Judy has to start meeting with a math tutor. Does this mean flash cards? Does this mean baby games? Does this mean school on weekends? But when Judy meets her tutor — a sick-awesome college student with an uber-funky sense of style — and gets a glimpse of college life, Judy’s bad math-i-tude turns into a radical glad-i-tude. Pretty soon, Judy’s not only acing her math class; she’s owning it. Time to say good-bye to Judy Moody, old skool third-grader, and say hello to Miss College! Small-tall upside-down backward non-fat capp with extra whip, anyone?
The fourth (and final) meditation panel of the manitoulin circle project is well under way. The working title of this panel is Four Directions. This piece is made from wool blankets (two were donated), lace doilies (all donated) and hand stitched linen damask from vintage tablecloths. The lace came in over the three years of this project. Women were generous and I am overwhelmed by the sheer beauty of these delicate threads. I wanted to use the lace, but was worried that it would distract from the minimalist aesthetic in the meditation panels. But when viewed in connection with the calm woolen grid, it seems subtle enough. Layers of these lace pieces will connect our labour to that of women who came before us. A fifth direction through time. Delicate and interesting, the small white squares shown above are made by layering small pieces of damask linen on a foundation, then embellishing the result with beads and lines of seed stitch. Originally, I had thought to fill just one 1/4 section of the circle with this design (see top photo), but we have enough to fill the whole lower half of the circle. It's serendipitous....the horizon design relates this new panel to earlier ones. I love it when the water shines like it did on Thursday morning. Precious Water. And the third panel also shone in the morning light when I arrived at the church at 10 am. Ned and I usually come back to Manitoulin on Wednesday evenings (3 1/2 hour drive) so that I can keep my Thursday stitching. Notice how Precious Water has been rolled on the frame as we work our way to the center. I am considering how to make something that will honour the many pairs of hands that have worked on these panels. 126 of us so far. Above are Marian's hands. Manitoulin Circle Project, every Thursday in Little Current, Manitoulin Island. All welcome.
