10 below, warm inside

this winter people are dealing with really harsh weather.
here i am in my warm farmhouse.
post holiday
night is beginning to fall
a little bit later
and the iced snow reflects light.
inside, where i pretty much stay
except for quick walks,
i've been busy
prepping for the classes in oz,
mapping the nyfa grant proposals,
printing papers for a book.
and i find myself
wishing the cold wasn't so cold,
the days not so short,
the sky not so gray.
this is why people stray south
in the cold time.

today there's more snow.
and the sky is bright with minus 10 COLD and BRIGHT!

  1. I just love your woven pages, and such straight edges, thats a neat little loom you have there, did you make it?
    Is that shifu yarn, I must learn to make that.

  5. I am glad that your farm house is warm and that you are so busy with art and with art business.

    It's really cold here as well.
    I've been sick and have not been outside other than to feed our birds for a week.

    Stay inside dear friend.
    happy new year.

  10. The weaving is exquisite.
    We have had rain and flooding in the south of England.
    Your frozen world looks harsh, stay warm and well.

  12. The weaving is wonderful. I'd love to feel it...is it stiff or soft? Glad you've stayed safe and warm. That first pic...where land and sky are one! Amazing. Take care.

  13. nancy, it's paper, spun and not at all worked, so it's quite stiff, and yet…
