After finishing the piece in my last post (Which I loved making, but it did require a lot of focus as bigger more involved things do.), I relaxed with these three tree tokens yesterday. I really was thinking of birds but didn't have the wherewithal to figure out how to stitch them, so I gave them bird meaning names- Byrd, Quetzal, and Mavis.
Mavis was the name of a woman in my hometown. She wore baggy dresses, a big, long coat with drooping pockets, and bright lipstick. We would see her out walking her little dog while we waited at the bus stop. She was somewhere else in her mind. Often talking to herself or yelling something we didn't understand. I wonder what her story was?
Yellowstone Falls via Blue, who facetimed me from a gas station where he had cell service finally. Tonight they're in a yurt in Bryce Canyon.
So, I guess tea painting became a thing for me. Light brown from chamomile and yellow lime-green tea were added. More flavors may be needed.
Today has been a slow lazy one. I did clean a bit of the bathroom. K and I realize that we've become quite lax in doing what used to be the boys' chores. Now that they're gone, all of those half-assed jobs that they did at cleaning every week are missed!
Today a moon start. Tomorrow, maybe more. Happy weekend!
