This is the first B&W collage in my new series. There's some fabric in the mix here.
Long-time readers may remember my
Sky Journal. I began it a couple years ago, little homages to the sky in an early practice journal made by
Alice Schlein. (Do visit Alice's blog to see her magnificent weaving and awesome book binding.) Anyhow, I finished Sky Journal a couple months ago after letting it sit unfinished for well over a year. Below are two of the final spreads.
While much of the rest of the U.S. is burning up literally or figuratively, it's raining on the North Coast. This has been the most miserable summer I can remember. If the sun comes out at all, it only lasts for moments. Yes, it's frequently overcast on summer mornings near the coast, but in the past that grayness has always burned off by noon and stayed away until the next morning. Not so this year. I suspect this is how we're experiencing global warming in these parts.
So I wrote
2012 North Coast Summer Weather Haiku last night ~
Gray skies every day
Summer hasn't started yet
Waiting for the heat
That probably won't be my last missive, at the rate we're going.
