Edge motif<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Somehow the days are passing. I hit on this edge motif for the solar ritual cloth, a row of one-inch squares in black and white topped with a colorful seasonal line of two-inch squares. Now that I have it I have to repeat it all the way around. It would be tedious except that it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a perfect small calming package of stitching that builds each morning. If I can manage my impatience long enough, I will finish. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s helpful to play with a little variation in color and pattern while keeping the element of black and white contrast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The center is another story. Round things, representing the solstices and equinoxes. I cut the circles down because they were too large and dominating. I may cut them down again until each circle is about four inches in diameter. This reduction gives me interesting border ribbons to play around with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Autumn\u00e2\u20ac\u009d corner<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I made the Autumn corner yesterday and photographed it outside. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s unsettling to pick up different seasons than the one we are in. Summer will be the last corner I make, oddly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are no raw edges. I want there to be raw edges in this cloth. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hard for me to trust that a cloth will evolve in a preferred way. Preferred how? I seem to believe that there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s an ideal to get to, and I have to take the right steps. Just take steps, no right or wrong about it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the backing. I am visualizing \u00e2\u20ac\u0153day sky\u00e2\u20ac\u009d — something blue, mottled, and thin. Will I have to dye some blue-gray double gauze that I have with indigo to get the mottling? Maybe a dip in bleach, scrunched up? Curious. But I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not there yet. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
