The fleet at the moment:
And three in particular:
The first boat redacted to one word, direction.
The second full of words, a conversation.
The third, a blank slate. It could also be about being speechless...

April fool's day
In the tarot the fool is a beginner, off on a new journey.
There is something appealing and beautiful about that.
The potential, the ability to keep learning.
This is from May 2019
A foolish choice?
Yesterday while pulling out dead branches, I discovered that the Lady Banksia rose that I thought was dead had a live shoot. It's not a particularly hardy rose for this area and has died down to the ground a couple times during cold winters. Luckily it is on it's own root stock so I know that there is always the potential it will come back.
Yesterday's life boat on hand painted paper.
Every fool needs a paper boat.
Fooling around as another way to consider play?
Digital layers and filters.

in the sunshine
Things are happening in the garden...
For this boat I applied the washi tape first and then folded. The tape is thin enough that it was fine on the straight folds.
The coveted window spot.

assemble
Number one.
The boats are piling up.
Today's was made from a map page.
Number two.
A pair of Steller's Jays kept me company in the garden today.
They were collecting moss in their beaks.
Nest building in the pine tree next door I think.
Number three.
I also assembled the pages for a book I've been making.
A few weeks ago I took Jody Alexander's Origami Travel Notebook class. This is my second book.
I have plans to make a lot more... I love that it is a book of pockets.

life boats
Back to them again...
built from poetry.
And
Walnut ink and tea bags.
I am thinking one a day for the next year.
Imagine what it would be like to set them free...
a flotilla.
