Goldenrod Shadows at the Beach

In the autumn I drew the breezy shadows of a goldenrod plant on cotton fabric. As the days grew shorter, I stitched. In this unseasonably warm January, I took my stitching to the Beach.

Significant Objects

I always like to see personal collections of amuletic objects. Keys rings and fobs are often powerful and significant. Keys provide access to specific areas of the physical world and other objects hold connections to a personal symbolic world. My nephew was wearing this wonderful collection this December.

The Sum of its Parts

At Christmas, my mother was wearing a pendant I made years ago. It was interesting to notice that after time had passed I could see it as its own whole self instead of as the parts I had combined.

Infinity Cards

At the December meeting of the Brunswick Arts Collaborative, Lonnie showed us how to make Infinity Cards. Two sheets of paper are folded and glued so that you can open the card sequentially to show four different arrangements of pattern and/or text. Here are some of mine. You can learn how to make an Infinity Card from The Toymaker at http://www.thetoymaker.com/Toypages/61EndlessCard/61InfinityCard.html

The colors are fantastic in my yard today!

Seeds and Stones

These blue seed pods are gorgeous in the autumn garden.

Ants Make Sand Circles

Ants work so hard! And here, they managed to find three different colors of sandy soil in one small, dry space in the middle of a parking lot.
