intention

 two cloths, one silk, above, one cotton, below 
eco dyed from eucalyptus leaves sent all the way from oakland california, 
a gift from aimee.
this week off work/school i have thought much about intention. 
barry has a series of sculpture based on the concept of choosing a daily intention.
well.
this week my intention was purely selfish.
to travel, learn, and enjoy. to be in a BIG city, to improve my skills.
and what was this turkey's intention?
how do the the animals navigate the intricacies of thought?
two new little skeins
i am planning a small woven sampler now, there i've said it!
woven photograph of a stack of sheets
and paper making is calling.
patti roberts-pizzuto profiled me this week. please take a look. 
and take a look at her work while you're there.
it's good.
one more intention: india flint has challenged folks to donate cash to the earthquake recovery in new zealand. if you donate, you might also get a piece by her. take a look there, too. and make a donation. i'm going to. another intention.

word

jude at spirit cloth (i don't yet know how to connect you with the site unless blogger does it for me--we shall see!) has taken a word as her intention for the year, and i've seen other artists do so (aimee lee's fall show abundance) i'm thinking about this, too, and wondering if i can keep it down to one, and once kept, remember the blasted word. so that word is brewing.


no, the word itself isn't "brewing", my thoughts are brewing up what the word will be. clear as mud?
