Stapled to their spars
The earth is wound
From shadowed terrors
The birds,
As one,

Your dark birds are beautiful Judy!
lovely .....this post calmed me down after a hectic morning.
At this time of year, murmurings of birds rise up from the fields, and I am always taken away.
The bowl and the top Gloria embroidery are objects that I see every day in my home. The Tom Benner exhibition - I saw on Thursday at the Art Gallery of Sudbury when I went to see the spaces again - Mended World will be exhibited there in January.
And the bird quilt - I started it 2008 - and put it aside for 5 years. I'm stitching it now with multi-coloured sky - but am fairly sure that I will over-dye the whole thing after it is stitched. Shall see.
Bird imagery is really powerful. The Soul is like a bird on the wing.
swoon. your birds remind me of the short film produced by 2 girls while they were canoeing and captured a mummeration of birds. google for it. so worth it.
turning the air to cloth. i love this. and i love your birds and wiat to see what happens at the end-overdye or not-and how it will be.
Loving your rookery. Agreed: birds hold such powerful symbolism . . . especially black birds.
work in progess is a great companion of the poem..beautiful
So poetic, the poem and your quilt. You always put nice images in my mind.
