Accumulations
Praise be
to the tangle,
the dance unraveling
the ending to begin again–
Praise be
to branches outing from deep roots,
the threads that multiply
and intertwine–
Praise be
A butterfly cinquain for Colleen’s tanka Tuesday words, honor and growth. Also a little carryover from the SpiritSong of yesterday’s post.
And maybe partially on prompt for NaPoWriMo day 4.
In case you’re wondering how I did this piece of art so quickly, 6 months ago I decided to start making art to use for NaPoWriMo. This is the very first one I did.
All of my artwork for April is based on/inspired by the work of Joan Mitchell.

Tangled threads, the dance of life, tangled roots that grow. . .all of it–and wonderful art, too.

We could use a bit more honoring these days I think.

Wow!! 👍 I’d love to know how you created the tangled threads. What kind of thread did you use? What inspired you? It is wonderful, Kerfe!
“The ending to begin again…” like this so much!! 😃

The left photo is my original embroidery. Then I just kind of wove in and around that on top with more embroidery floss. The right photo is the back of it. I was inspired by an abstract painting by Joan Mitchell. I’ll post all the paintings I used as inspiration at the end of the month.
Thanks Jill!

Much better than the straight and narrow I find.

You can’t hide in the straight and narrow, or keep secrets.

Well you can hide from everything that’s not on the particular path you’ve chosen. Or maybe refuse to see is a better description.

That’s true—you can refuse to see wherever you are.

I like the idea of controlled randomness, and this seemed to satisfy on both counts.
