Feltabilia


lockdown blues…
waiting for the red lipstick
to arrive

Inspired by @MariaPierides’s Lipstick project

salt-laden winds
sand sedge spreading its roots
underground

I am slowly building a new blog about felted haiga, haikufeltings, & all about my adventures in felt, Filz & felting – please take a look & let me know what you would like to see included there.

A new journal, a new hybrid, and a new year!

Honored and thrilled beyond measure to have the opportunity to describe my journey from “Hairballs to Haiga” in a “craft essay,” with four of my felting haiga “haikufeltings” in the debut issue of the Journal MacQueen’s Quinterly, MacQ for short (see URLs below). Grateful to Clare MacQueen for highlighting haikufeltings in her introduction to the issue, giving this hybrid work a home among such a superb collection of writings.
Check it out! And Happy New Year!

Introduction to the issue (scroll down)

early dark
this need to explain
the meaning of life

chains or wilderness . . .
life choices of the unfinished
bear
.

water meadows
a frog I don’t know
answers my croak

city lights …
after a while
the glare

reshaping
my Aegean dream …
waves at noon

round earth
the attraction
of opposites

haikufeltings: images of haiku combined with feltings
early evening
now the absence
of flowers

Happy International Haiku Poetry Day!

earthworms …
the musty smell
of dark soil

shorthand
for a day out of sorts—
missing you

grainy photo
her eyes travel around
the room

wildflowers …
the lightness of hope
and renewal
