spring showers, leaving
her white bits, running
her black bits, diving
kayaks, just laying
shibori, making ripples
me, digging seams

- Sweetpea
- Some scribblings & assorted notes ... from a beadworker, picture taker, natural dyer, stitcher of stories and garden maker ... happily unleashed with my soul-mutt dawg, wandering the Pacific Northwest of America and venturing down all sorts of paths of inspiration.
Fabulous photographs - I'll be going back to look at them over and over again. Everyday things depicted as if in a dream.
ReplyDeleteMy everyday life "as if in a dream" ... ok, yes, that sounds good to me, Penny ;>]] Except maybe the sore muscles after the digging ~ definitely not so dreamy!
DeleteBeautiful images... love 'her white bits, running"... and the top image, very like my paintings. Happy spring!
ReplyDeleteAnd a very Happy Spring back to you, Valerianna. I had a lot of fun with my iPhone apps playing with effects that gave a sense of motion. That top image definitely felt watercolor-ish to me ... and I see now a similarity to your work with inks & trees ~ thank you. May you & Pasha enjoy the new season!
Deleteare YOU on the move??
ReplyDeleteI had to giggle a bit (welcome relief after yesterday's trauma) about the edging post ... I used to do that in another life. then I got lazy. and now everything jumbles into everything. the lawnmower is my edger. heh.
thinking of you sweet friend. xo
... mainly in the garden, jen ... can you say "whirling dervish"???! It's going a bit bonkers out there. I may be endeavoring [foolishly] to try and contain nature with my silly edging, but I can't think of another way to prevent the grass & weeds from taking over my perennial areas; at least, ways I can stomach. I may give it up over time as it is a *chore.* Like you, I definitely use the lawnmower as edger on the perimeter of the yard ... that and me weed wacker!!!
DeleteThinking of you too xo
Gorgeous, evocative photos, love the digging seams, I hate digging, but will have to bite the bullet tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteYou folks over in England have certainly been having THE winter to forget ~ you probably are wondering if spring will ever arrive at this point. I hope you see signs of it soon and all best wishes for that digging, Sharon!
DeleteEye and heart candy - these photographs - but most of all ~ "her black bits, diving"!
ReplyDeleteGlad you made it home safe from the workshop, Kathy, and I hope you are feeling much better now.
DeleteThat is our 2nd dog, Quinn, a real tomboy compared to my other white-pawed, oh-don't-get-me-wet, Fluffy One!
land art with spade. good stuff
ReplyDeleteand
i'm looking forward to meeting the four-legged one [as well as you, of course !]
Likewise! But be forewarned: that furry one is a bestower of kisses, big time ... you made need a face cloth afterwards ;>]]
DeleteCAN'T WAIT.
Your photo art is so appealing... I think you're ready to exhibit. Look for a gig and go for it!
ReplyDeleteoh miz Robin, I have absolutely no desire in the world to exhibit photographs. I did that *in another life* and don't enjoy it at all. I am perfectly content with my pictures having a little life of their own here on my journal blog. At some point I may consider a little picture book or two (can't you just see a diary of Isla or life with Isla & Quinn?!) just for fun, but that is all. But I do thank you [as always] for your unfaltering belief & support. They are my treasures!!
DeleteVery evocative images: good times on the island!
ReplyDeleteFor years & years, my favorite time of the year was fall. That was in CA where the autumn season seemed to be the most distinct one [if that makes sense]. Since moving here I have slowly evolved towards loving spring the most. Perhaps it's because [relatively speaking] the winters here are so long & gray. Did I say GRAY? Spring is a renewal of all my hopes. And the good times begin again, yes!!
Deleteyou have such a good eye!
ReplyDeleteThank you for that, Mo ~ much appreciated.
DeleteoH MY God......the half moon edger.......reminder of another life living with a lawn of golf course grass......I was obsessive with the crisp edge! I can smell the grass all the way here in the desert! Your images are stunning. I feel their energy!
ReplyDeleteHere tis a lawn of weeds with some blades of grass thrown in ;>/
Deleteand cannot keep it crisp to save my life. Still, the creeping clover (grrrrrrrr) is thwarted a bit.
You are LUCKY to have desert flowers so close ~ I adore them.
