morning practice

Morning practice is how I begin each day. It is a way to bridge my night dreaming, fresh morning energy and outlook to the rest of my day. It is both journaling and pure play with my favorite "signature" things as well as elements that have caught my interest and/or speak to me. It has become an important hub around which my creativity turns and a potent creative tool. Morning practice is optimally a daily practice (like yoga) of creating a meditative environment - an oasis of peace, clarity and intention... sinking (relaxing) into the sensual moment and the timelessness of play resulting in a mandala-like assemblage that can be documented...

tiny book, super full moon...

on this

the last day of March

as we melt into April

I am thinking about

some of my favorite things:

circles,

transluscent vellum paper,

security patterns,

the full moon,

my royal 890 typewriter,

contrast,

any and all sunshine,

and

oh!

did I mention paint chips???

there IS a full moon color

imagine that!

I do love

making these tiny mixed-up books

that gather and sew up

these loves...

just keep in mind

that I am

eb-ullient

and

getting ready

for the pink one,

wishes, sunset, cheesecake...

happy birthday

to my sweet Mama

special wishes

are tucked

into this tiny glassine envelope

your birthday sunset

with twinkling lights

from across the lake

and a swirl of sweet cream

on the cheesecake

as we celebrate your birthday...

prayers for Japan...

working with fragments

and starting out today

with where I am

under a skirt of snow

ever so grateful

hoping

to be and flower

and holding Japan

in my ever hopeful heart

sending out prayers

to a place

where the sun

will always rise...

earthquake, tsunami...

morning coffee

in a fog

as I wonder

how to carry

the anguished feelings

of a devastating earthquake

and the resulting tsunami

walking

yoga

wondering

and working

with bits and pieces

assembling fragments

in an attempt

to create

some kind of order

from chaos...

yesterday and today...

morning coffee

a trip to Middlebury

and a double rainbow on my way home

ecstatic

brilliant

brightening

a pot of gold

over the mountains...

eb immersion, lake house workshops...

Come enjoy the bird song, the gliding ferry and sailboats while creating magic on the shores of Lake Champlain. Using the four elements of earth, air, fire and water; we will learn a variety of techniques with which to collaborate with natural processes. We will make marks, imprints and patterns with tea, rust, leaves, seeds and blossoms on fabric and paper. We will wander the beach and gather drift wood, stripeys and holy stones with which to embellish our creations. In this workshop we will explore mark making on fabric and paper using tea, rust, eucalyptus, indigo and asemic writing. As we dance across the color wheel I will share my techniques and thoughts about the potency of deep play and meditative creativity. Bring your boundless curiosity, a playful spirit and a beginner's mind - we will adventurously explore new frontiers.
