Be... Dream... Play...

backpack & journal...

Oh boy!

on a sun shiny day like today

tuck a bark cloth Coptic bound journal

into its size-specific coordinating fabric pocket,

grab a handful of Faber-Castell pitt pens

and lounge and journal on a small rocky cliff in the sun

listening to the lake song.

You might sip some tea from your thermos

and bite into a Madelaine

as the southern breeze

kisses your face.

Be, dream, doodle and play

as you practice deep listening

to your soul...

journal snippets, a spread and what I've been up to...

I'm getting ready for a show next Saturday

an annual event right here in my home town

I am making some glorious new Coptic bound journals

with matching bark cloth back packs

 

(one of which is a request from a dear friend - finished at last)

as well as some of my favorite shadow dancing

nature print lovelies...

I have been mostly loving this process

lots of details

not much journal play which I am missing dearly

here are some journal snippets 

and a spread

I'll show the new work soon...

falling...

this fall

I have fallen completely in love

with this rich and colorful season

and, although I have always been smitten

with this time

of harvest, crisp air and unparalleled color

this year - perhaps because I have been out here - in it

rather than in my old town studio,

I have savored each and every day...

waking in a red room

with butterscotch pouring in from the windows,

multiple daily walks in shwooshing dry leaves,

gathering these drifting treasures

to press in big books

and now - today's inspiration

which will unfold 

in a future post

yes I am falling...

golden play today

as it rains yellow and red

a season turning...

wandering...

To celebrate a special birthday

we went for a little wander

a wabi sabi wander.

We went here and there,

sniffing out the last of Autumn,

the air was moist with a slight drizzle.

Listening to the soundtrack from Samsara

encapsulated in our own mini movie,

we drove into town for tea.

Beginning with a taste 

of black tea infused with rose buds;

we chose Turkish Rize Cay

to accompany a Mezze plate.

Relaxing in a tiny teahouse

with squash colored walls

we felt as if we were

elsewhere...

thank you Sandy for inspiring this wondrous tea wander
