philemon and baucis

the treecloth I've been making for jude hill's cloth to cloth online workshop, backsidetrunk and beginning of roots, up close
all components secured, cloth washed. All fabrics have been dyed by plants from this area. After I washed it I saw the face on the trunk, but the embellishing will come later. It has been so satisfying to make, and magical, really. It is full of stories. I see the olive tree of this land, after the fire, is she praying, or is she dancing? I think a beetle will keep her company, a little lizard and a scops owl,


this is the olive tree which lives next to the houseand this was a fragrant home for a family
today we sre going to the sea to wash the fleeces

Katapliktiko! Don't have Greek font to actually write properly...! Quite beautiful, and, yes, very ancient olive tree... poli orea!

I definitely see a dance represented in your cloth! Astonishing!
