making marks on paper
with many instruments
including a turkey beard brush
some plants bits and
water

the indefatigable gail stiffe
president of iapma
the coven (gail missing to the right, front)
there she is!
one of the indigo aunties
(one of several vats)
was asked for
a piece of sky

a piece of sky
with naomi as tutor
and supervisor
iowa case paper and indigo
compiling signatures
into a stationers binding
each text block found its own home
and shifu went to to live
on pages where it belonged
some sections were bundled until they were sewn
some folks brought favorite treasures
to sew to paper substrate
a few surprises appeared from the layers
crayon, graphite, resists, magic solutions, ink
that we built
i think the class had
japanese screw punch envy
a palette from our class
(OH! and
gifts were shared
brought by students for all
or for me
are lovely treats,
after an evening of conversation they will remind…
but gifts from students
move me to tears.
they have gifted me
already
with their attention and trust.
and bring me joy.
(fiona's letters…i love these)
and a last gift:
roz showed up
made lord only knows what effort
to stop in at beuatiful silks
to say hello.

next a few days of making and shopping
and then off to the grampians
for another australian adventure!
