August - Flow

This one is meant to be some sort of statement about how many places on earth are having water scarcity problems due to overdevelopment and changing weather patterns.  The binding is something new - couched satin cord.  I like the way this turns out for these little pieces - so much less bulky than traditional bindings, no matter how narrow they are.  And it's way quicker.  Another fine thing, that.

And yes, I do own a calendar.  I just keep forgetting to turn the pages.

when the rains don't come
flowing rivers all run dry
how then will we live?

Flow

Time flows, fits and starts
Impermanent and fleeting
Just beyond our grasp

Simple improvisational piecing of vintage fabric, with vintage buttons and random quilting with perle cotton.

Please excuse the less than stellar image quality - my camera has disappeared into the morass of my house, and I'm using my cellphone.
