[re]emergence: Imperfection
http://iy-am.blogspot.com/2013/01/imperfection.html
Design concept. © Catherine V. Bainbridge 2013. One of the things that I have always loved about hand-worked repeat patterns, is the way in which the natural irregularities - the imperfections - make a repeat pattern not a repeat pattern anymore. Even though it still is. And I think that's the quality that appeals so much to me in so many world cloth/stitch traditions. Design concept. © Catherine V. Bainbridge 2013.

[re]emergence: Rice Moon
http://iy-am.blogspot.com/2013/01/rice-moon.html
Tuesday night the tide was low at 6 o'clock. Flashlights in hand, we stumbled out across the rocks. There were lobsters. Brittle starfish. And we saw the head of an eel poking out from a crevice under a rock, opening and closing its mouth, with small, needle-sharp teeth. I got a creepy feeling. Of wading in the warm waters in the dark. We went back to the shore and sat for an hour, sky-gazing. A fabulous comet - or suchlike - flashed across the heavens, with a streaming orange tail. I will soon be 42.

Havent been here for a while. Ive been thinking about going back to painting. Sometimes I think too much! Posted at 02:14 PM in collection. Recent post, Ive discovered Valerie (Anna? And have added a link to her Raven Wood Forest blog in the right hand column. Happened. How, unwittingly, I forced that self into the shadows. Infact it made me think about alot of different things. And it reminded me of these. Unfinished watercolor studies in a sketchbook from. The way back when. Catherine V. Bainbridge.

Some more daily sketches. that turned out not. To be daily, of course. Some days several. and other days none at all! I got up at 4:35am (usually do) and had the idea of. Different approaches on the same theme. I took pictures with my phone(! And isolated some of the sections that I like best. Which is your favorite?

Walking in the rock pools with Nilo. Some are like clay. And some covered with all kinds of life. I have no idea what this strange creature might be, but surely it's a relative of the Trilobite? About 3 inches long. and yes, alive! I'm tired of only having the camera on my phone. I'm tired. Full stop. Catherine V. Bainbridge. Links to this post. I wonder if a mould or an insect made these gorgeous patterns? Catherine V. Bainbridge. Links to this post. Or this exquisite gift! This is what we left behind us.

Flame flowers of "Malinche" ( Delonix regia). And with cashew nut pods ( Anacardium occidentale. Catherine V. Bainbridge. Links to this post. Following on from yesterday's post. I uncovered a secret. The way that the shadows move around in my house. Origins. A screen window, with a wooden lattice. Sometimes the shadows and sunlight match to enhance the checkerboard, and sometimes they don't. Diamond becoming elipse. Square becoming circle. The faux-lace cuff of a blouse. This last image is for Neki.
