Guardian

This is my recent pastel painted portrait of Chrissie
The one who watches out the door
and in the Studio every day
and night
Guardian and Listener
Happily remaining in alignment with the Light

Orange Ray

Soaking up the late afternoon Sun
These small bolts of handwoven Fabric
await knotting and assembling into
Salerno Shoulder Wraps
the signature piece of the Weaving Studio
Tomorrow the first completed piece will appear

Spring Bloom

HERE We have the new white warp
all woven & blocked
Sitting on top of the loom
Waiting for the finishing

The loom has been emptied of the remnants
of all the old warps
A new one to follow
And below a Gift of a flower

White Warp

White .......... the color of all colors
blended together
this is the end, beginning and middle of the first warp
woven in the New Year of the Yang Water Dragon
filled with afternoon light
the strength to surrender
for peace

Mandala

May these jeweled lights
that opened the hearts of many children
Be offered, with a fervent wish
for World Peace Now

Getting Personal

Somehow, I have the impression that through blogging, ones personal, conversational voice is meant to emerge. For me, Elizabeth, this is a challenge and precious opportunity both, to write in first person.
Maybe descriptive narrative ...... So...today I am saying: in this moment I have a loose grasp on an illusory reality, smooth and even, like the blending of the mist and fog of this day.
Soft grey cover, and forgiving light.

Beaming On

First the braided Warp is Wound through
to the Back Beam
Beaming On
Then the trimmed ends are Tied to the Front Beam
Beaming on Complete
and Weaving Begun
The First Warp of 2012
