I think that might have been the first time- in a long time- that I didn't post on the blog. A whole day missing. I was busy thinking.
This morning I disregarded the instructions on the booklet making. I made one of many pages and sewed it into the middle of the booklet (if it falls apart- it falls apart). I did use red thread and ran it over a candle to wax it. I know that is not how waxed thread is made but it certainly made it easier to get the thread through the pages.
And I made additional red squiggled paper and finally pasted down this prompt. In doing so I discovered this painting of giant crows in a parking lot - upper left corner. Love that image. If we were titling our pages this one would be "Collage Community". It's right smack in the centerfold of the booklet. I also squiggled additional pages (in other colors) for the "Future".
And because I was looking over my pages to see if they needed "something more" or "less" I added this rusting spiral to the fence and rocks. The spiral seems to be reaching out to the fencing. And the line between the rocks and the sky is connected- that space bothered me. But all the small thin images didn't work. This spiral seemed "heavy" enough.
2019 was the HOTTEST year on record- for as long as records have been kept. That means more carbon in the air. Less trees to absorb it. The Blue Planet won't be Blue if this continues.
We are going to the movies to see Little Women. Just deciding to do that small thing together ..is so hard. We couldn't go to movies for almost a year. Not together. Someone, one of us, had to stay home with Riley. Just deciding to see a movie and just going........it's very very hard. When do you think I will run out of tears?
And again, after reading your last line, I so wish you and G still lived here in Kelkheim. So I could come and visit you two, together with Pancho, and tell you the story our veterenary told us when we had to put Smokey and 3 years later, Gizmo, to sleep. How, after they die, all animals meet at the end of the rainbow, and are so happy, laughing about us, telling each other funny and loving stories about us, their humans....... Sending you all our love and hugs. Hope you will like the movie!
ReplyDeleteKelkheim, I am from Offenbach originally, met J. in Maine at the library. She taught me quite a bit about quilting. I am sad to hear about Riley. Our Ginger is very weak now. We brought her back from Maine, most beautiful Labrador retriever. She will be 13 in March, if she will make it. Good night from Ansbach.
