lovely!

mari yamaguchi newell's work again.

mari included a few goodies in her package

and i am really looking forward to working with these

there were two tiny woven pieces that i bought

and she sent a small old book
for me to spin.
it's wonderful to receive such amazing items

fiber from japan
meets north country
basswood is linden
soon to blossom

must be a dead calf in there

turkey vultures

there were thunderclouds and lightning flashing around to the north,
along the big st lawrence river

i've never seen them here before

they seem so intent on being here
avoiding going home while roosting out the storms.

as i prepare for the next things,
my class at women's studio workshop,
i remember this piece made
by yuko kimura
in last year's morgan class

it was fun to see this over on her website!
oh,
yes, by the way.
one more day of students.
and a week or so to work after.
