Brewing Up Beginnings


Northern Gannets I think
skimming along an unusually calm bay of Fundy


sent me rummaging through my dyed cottons
for this blue piece that has been waiting for a story to stitch.
Think I know what it is saying now.


A yellow T-shirt
too bright for me.
Let's try and calm it down.
Maple leaves and sweet fern have been stuffed inside.
It's steeping for a few days in a brew of apple leaves.
We shall see!

  4. It's going to be intriguing to see what happens with the Tshirt - AND what you do with the blue! Will the tshirt still be worn or do you have an art piece in mind?
