long absence (for me!)

i haven't left town, 

not yet,

but will in a week and a half

for oz.

first stop: beautiful silks

and a very exciting class

on making our own cartographic explorations

contained inside

artists' books!

three days of intense play

serious play*, in fact

i can hardly wait!

 i have reluctantly pulled myself away

from the printing on silk

 seen here

 and here

and morojifu

moons

 and winter sunrises keep calling

 to me-get all your ducks in order!

those ducks include 

a list long enough, 

too long, actually

here's an amish farmhouse i pass

ten times a week

on the way to work.

 and the ladies fly by

 but i had to stop

full stop

to photograph them in blizzard dress

one morning last week

on the way to school.
after melbourne, it's on to the grampians.

*serious play is a term coined by my dear friend
carol j blinn of warwick press.
