Tales from the birdhut. Musings on art, walks with the dog, life as it happens. Exhibition '14,complete line up. Very short poems/hele korte gedichten. Sunday, 26 July 2015. A whole week poured into one post. Catkins, linden ( Tilia). Rediscovered this poor bird who had managed to fall to his death in the heart shaped tray. In amongst the uprooted plants from the border was this strange root ball, what is it? Another one still awaiting a face-lift. Yesterday (Saturday) we had a storm raging over the coun...

tales from the birdhut: never walk in a straight line
http://www.saskiavanherwaarden.com/2014/10/never-walk-in-straight-line.html
Tales from the birdhut. Musings on art, walks with the dog, life as it happens. Exhibition '14,complete line up. Very short poems/hele korte gedichten. Friday, 17 October 2014. Never walk in a straight line. A small autumnal journey linked closely to the daily walks Django and I enjoy this time of the year; the blocks are sewn together with the paperless piecing technique I learned from Jude. Upon which sponge squares were printed again with textile inks; top right is avocado dye, top left? Looking at wh...

ART JOURNEY: A Spring Morning
http://artjourney-penny.blogspot.com/2015/05/a-spring-morning.html
Friday, May 8, 2015. As each season arrives I think to myself 'this is my favorite time of the year'. Then as the season goes on I get tired of the snow or the heat or the whatever. I guess I just love the changes. Here I am on a spring morning. The picture above was taken from my kitchen window - looking out at the tops of the trees in their vivid bright green foliage. Starting out on my walk - I stop at the end of our driveway to savor the irises and flame azaleas all in full bloom. Nice pics. I li...

ART JOURNEY: July 2014
http://artjourney-penny.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 28, 2014. When I began preparing this doll figure, I wanted to convey my nostalgic feelings for that old-fashioned thing called 'letter writing'. The kind that used pen and ink, script or print by the writer's own hand - written, folded, sealed into an addressed envelope and sent on its way - with the writer hoping that it would arrive at its destination safely. Thank you Emily for all of the words you laid down on paper - they are lovely. Friday, July 25, 2014. This spider is looking for a ...

ART JOURNEY: February 2015
http://artjourney-penny.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 27, 2015. The Hand Stitched Doll. May I tell you what it is like to sit here in my studio hand stitching a doll? Music is quietly playing. Outside it is windy and cold and pretty much miserable. There is a heating vent at my feet. There is fabric and needle and thread. Meanwhile stories float through my mind and heart making a place for this soon-to-be finished hand stitched doll. Monday, February 23, 2015. Upon awaking I found something/someone perched upon my knee. It was all I cou...

ART JOURNEY: November 2014
http://artjourney-penny.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 28, 2014. And then there are the craft shops that have those bins in the back where they sell 'stuff' for $1. Okay - pretty hard to walk past that. Who in the world needs a huge bundle of pom-poms? Certainly not me - but the colors were fun, the puffy balls fun to touch and well. Never a knitter nor a crocheter will I be (due to the fact that I lack the dexterity of a walrus) but does that mean I don't have yarn in my stash? What can I say? Monday, November 24, 2014. To have her own nest...

ART JOURNEY: Another Pond
http://artjourney-penny.blogspot.com/2015/08/another-pond.html
Friday, August 7, 2015. Of "Moonie Bean Folkart is the winner of the first 'Whisper" doll.]. This summer brings yet another small pond to the original pond outside my studio window. Having a wetlands ecologist in the family is quite nice. Originally there was one pond where the frogs sat sunning themselves. Then another smaller pond was added to let water fall into the original pond. This beautiful spot is perfect for practicing the following quotation. Carol- Beads and Birds. August 7, 2015 at 7:49 AM.

tales from the birdhut: May 2015
http://www.saskiavanherwaarden.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Tales from the birdhut. Musings on art, walks with the dog, life as it happens. Exhibition '14,complete line up. Very short poems/hele korte gedichten. Monday, 25 May 2015. From Ellen Meloy's 'The Anthropology of Turquoise' chapter one, the Deeds and Sufferings of Light (my italics). Or else hanging curtain-wise as a shield against the sun's bright rays, softening the light; at night protecting one from darkened skies as we hurtle through space. Personally I love close-ups of stitching. Links to this post.
