COLORADO FLOWERS at Madison Contemporary Fiber Artist show

Plymouth Art Center Branching Out Exhibit

UNTIL NOVEMBER 27  2015

Last summer had unusual rains, so there were more wild flowers in the Sangre de Cristos mountains. 

In reading about Buddhism, Lama Surya Das had a daily To Do list.  Each day I embroidered his list to help me remember it.

CREATE   ENVISION

I called these Bee Balm, they were all over. Or they might be Rocky Mountain Beeplant.

EXPAND    INCLUDE

This is a cactus blooming.

FORGIVE     ACCEPT

This is a magenta flower that only bloomed before noon. Possibly a Slenderleaf False Foxglove.

ENJOY   LAUGH

This may be a double aster.

CELEBRATE + APPRECIATE
This is a Golden Eye.    

GIVE THANKS

These were small purply pink asters.

TRUST IN THE BASIC GOODNESS

I’ve been reading books on Buddhism this summer.

I like to embroider phrases to embed them in my memory.

I do believe in basic goodness.

Memory Cloth – WHAT MAKES ME SPARKLE

  

When Linda Mundt Feng Shuied our house she taught us to ask “Does it make me sparkle?” about every object we owned.  That made a huge change in my thinking – I could always answer yes to “Could I imagine a use for this?”
