A swagger and a jaunt.

I did my lines early today. I like that.

I woke up this morning with thoughts of Balthazar's Bakery in my mind... So we went. And then headed over to a coffee shop to eat our takings and in my case, sew.

I have been in an exploratory mode creatively am trying things out. You see some tentative experiments with Eco Dyeing (via India Flint's book) and this piece uses some of my own eucalyptus and acorn dyed pieces. I have long admired Jude Hill's work and I am embracing a technique she uses often, cloth weaving. And then there is Janet Bolton whose Book reminded me of the joy of applique picture building.

So in dabbling and experimenting I have been creatively stretching and looking for ways to make the work uniquely my own. We will see.

Then we took a long walk back to the subway and I snapped a few city life photos for you.

A store selling dried sea cucumbers. It is a wonder to walk through Chinatown with all of its open air markets and the marvelous unknowns.

Can you tell what subway station this is?

Well...
