MLE Music : Cardiac Compost

It’s personal. Possibly poetic? Hopefully powerful?
It’s person to person, with the help of many people. some aware, some not aware of their part, their participation. A peek into mourning and bringing honor to the lost. it’s locational. Roots, returning home, remember my best friend and the woman that birthed me. It’s a process, a release, a experimentation, a retreat, a cave, a corner in the room. It’s many lists bound in a book. It’s a vision of a heart containing compost, with each trial like trash carefully layered and continuously being broken down by the gracious gardener, allowing the flow of nutrients to a souls soil, soon to be ripe and ready for the new seasons seeding.

Weaver

A new world with yarn, weaving! With the help and inspiration from San Francisco artist Travis Meinolf I fix myself a mini-loom with a notecard and pencil. Here is a small sample of what I’ve done so far. Weaving is unraveling my naivety with many materials that surround me and cover my body. Check out all the beautiful projects that Travis is apart of and learn how to make your own mini-loom.

When you teach you learn.

Crochet Hook (thank you tree)

After a wind storm, there laid many tree parts on the ground. While walking I picked a stick, a pine stick, thought … thank you tree I shall make a hook, a wooden hook to crochet new creations with my hand and your fallen finger.

Nod to Nathan : Juice Making

A new friend of mine is on a fast which includes lots of fresh juices. So in honor of him I asked my dad to pull out The Champion. My parents bought The Champion (world’s finest) juicer with money given to them at their wedding . . . over 30 years ago. Carrot juice to the wintery soul and to your health. nod.
