sometimes the bundles
yield quirky results
shadows and wraiths on paper
and cloths
layers of grays
my camera wouldn't read the pale greens
or peaches
or distinct
rusty shapes on open weave.
and i just set the thing down and get back to work.
sigh.
black eyed susans cheer me up
especially after a three hour work meeting
from which i returned with a hollering headache.
this morning there are amazing gold lights
deep within backyard maples.
sunlight playing games.
not autumn.
not yet.
Don't know which I like better, the wraiths or the blackeyed susans. They're all good. Down with meetings.
ReplyDeleteI like the look of the bundles themselves, they look otherworldly and yet human and anticipating change.
ReplyDeleteintrigued by the green streaks and the paper clip imprints. quirky is good.
ReplyDeletecathy, thanks, they are nifty and weird
ReplyDeletedeanna, thanks for that
Quirky is good! I too love the bundles. But mostly I want to send a you a post-three-hour meeting hug: good thing you have the bundles to return to.
ReplyDeletesusans are always a pick me up.
ReplyDeletei am quirked out over here...
work meetings! - is it really that late in the summer? love the Susan's golden glow.
ReplyDeletemelissa, the hug MUCH appreciated!
ReplyDeletejude, quirky is perhaps inevitable?
jean, ugh!
quirked out here as well.
ReplyDeleteI am excited at the prospect of a really quiet early fall.
you can always rebundle those works....the gentleness of them is nice though.
the second one reminds me of an ancient text--one of those scrolls that is sacred, (supposed to tell of Enlightenment or Truth) and when you open it there are no words.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend.
I love the look of the bundles as much or maybe more than the unwrapped pieces (does that make me a bit perverse?)
ReplyDeletenancy, i will rebundle if i am not happy later on, sometimes it takes a bit to grow on me.
ReplyDeletem, yeah, that text like patterning is nifty!
ronnie, of course you like the bundles! you are the most unperverse woman!
Yup... quirky and FUN!
ReplyDeleteMy garden is pretty much black and brown eyed susans now.... I LOVE them for their color AND because they thrive here.
yes, valerie, they love to blossom here in this little garden.
ReplyDeleteah those bundles...they're everywhere!
ReplyDelete...prophet of bloom spreads bundling to hinterlands
ReplyDeleteI really like the soft grey colour in the unbundled cloth, Velma.
ReplyDeleteI can see you doing something very calm and serene with them - maybe piecing them, or layering them.

judy, thoughtful suggestions, thanks
