May this dress help you FLY!!!!

'flirt' installation about Mother Brook Art - see info below

“I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing 

where I am going. 

And I have trained myself to love it. 

Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air 

with no landing in sight, 

that we force our wings to unravel and alas begin our flight. 

And as we fly, we still may not know where we are going to. 

But the miracle is in the unfolding of the wings. 

You may not know where you're going, 

but you know that so long as you spread your wings, 

the winds will carry you.” 

― C. JoyBell C.

may this dress bring you a little extra time . . . .

Time is but the stream 

I go a-fishing in.

This has been a week of racing here and racing there.  Then add to that the few extra days it took me to install my pieces in the inaugural exhibit' "Flirt" at the Mother Brook Arts & Community Center (MBACC) ~ I definitely could use a smidgen of extra time :) as I am posting today's daily dress inspiration at 7PM!?!?

But now all the work is installed!!! My new piece called 'flirt' is successfully installed on the landing of the stairwell, with the help of scaffolding no less.  More pictures to come but here is a quick shot with my phone.  I am thinking that this is going to be one of those pieces that you need to experience and photos aren't going to do it justice!

may this dress remind you, bird by bird . . . .

Today I need to remember the wise words from Anne Lamott's father

 ~ 'bird by bird'.

As it happens I am prepping for 

2 shows opening in the next 7 days!! 

'Flirt",  the inaugural group show @ the Dedham Mother Brook Art Center & 

'the daily dress series' @ Baldwin Hill Art, Natick.

I am super excited about both shows, 

however this friday has arrived with a laundry list of 

things to do a mile long - 

so bird by bird . . .  

“Thirty years ago my older brother, who was ten years old at the time, was trying to get a report on birds written that he’d had three months to write, which was due the next day. We were out at our family cabin in Bolinas, and he was at the kitchen table, close to tears, surrounded by binder paper and pencils and unopened books on birds, immobilized by the hugeness of the task ahead. Then my father sat down beside him, put his arm around my brother’s shoulder, and said, ‘Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird.’”

from Anne Lamott’s Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life
