something new

I went to McMinnville today to buy something from the art supply store.  Just around the corner from there
is Boersma’s.  It’s small fabric store (sewing machines, miele vacuums, repair, quilting) that has a good
selection of nice fabric.  I ended up buying some fabric to make colourful pillow covers for 16″ square pillows.  
 
I’m thinking maybe i could sell a few.  I like fabric, and i am pretty good at sewing things with straight lines.
I put the pencils in the photos to give an idea of the size of the print.  These fabrics were in their bargain
area.  The fabric is very expensive to start with, so i thought that it would be a good place to start.  Though,
they require a purchase at least one yard of the bargain selections.  I had fun with matching fabric for the 
fronts and backs of the covers.
 
How do you think i did?  Do you like any of the match-ups?

layers and parts

.

Layering and playing continues.

At this point, i enjoy different parts as individual compositions more than the canvas as a whole.
 
 
Thought…
A card collection of three or four different parts.

~
Just as a body, though one, has many parts,
but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. 
For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—
whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—
and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. 
Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.

there is
a current
that flows
.
no one has seen
where it comes from
or where it goes
.
but it makes it’s way
blowing through 
hearts open
 
like fresh air
through a window 
on a summer’s day

day

.

make a way softly
swept across the sky
make it a summer’s day
full of ripe possibilities
that become
and linger on the tongue
long after the setting
of a peach stained sun

orange

 

i am thankful for a husband that does not believe

i am thankful for medication for depression

i am thankful for my hair getting thinner

i am thankful for droopy skin under my chin

i am thankful for car windows that don’t work

i am thankful for age spots

i am thankful for a smile from my teenager

i am thankful for dirty clothes and dishes

who do you love

.
.
.
you’re a sweet orange
playing the blues
with no rhyme
 
sticky words
speaking
understanding
 
of my wicked heart
that will not
listen to you
 
when it hears
the whisper of words
that sing in golden hue
.
