Yarn crawl

Habu has several yarns that use stainless steel. The yarn on the cone has copper. I found the combo in the photo below at the Knit Purl shop in downtown Portland.

Red soap dream

Rose City Fiber Crawl 2012 has been exhausting and enlightening. My find so far has been Abstract Fiber red roving in 50% silk and 50% merino wool. My red soap dream inspired this red longing. I have already posted my cuprite stone. A new weaving?

Harp

The Silkie

I submitted a recording of “The Silkie” on harp.   I hadn’t heard back and was fretting over the quality though the response was quit good. My mentor responded to my fretting in a really lovely way:

“well…yes…next time please do return to same melody as you start with in left hand as well
and some suggestions are…..instead of “room for improvement” consider creation is always pushing us to keep expanding. Because the gift of your music, the way she is right now, is perfect!! ….you might play with noticing when you use the words “I am thinking” because for me usually that means I am headed for trouble!……are you at all challenged to accept the healing gift of your music exactly as she is????? maybe not. Also, when you mention feeling frozen around your Presence….remember it is not You who is frozen but your ego-mind state who likes (in all of us) to hang out evaluate, scare, judge etc….our ego mind notices when we get connected to Source as I heard you and your music to be, she really has no control and once our awareness sees this she (our ego -mind) is done in….well call me if you wish…this is written in great haste with deference to my dear computer!!”
