~ Tuesday Two by Two -Coptic & Japanese Stab Binding ~

Posted on March 8, 2016 by Lindy Le Coq

The past two weekends I took classes to learn how to bind journals and books using Japanese Stab and Coptic binding methods. I enjoyed it very much and I’m excited to share my projects, and to use these binding methods in the future.

Four Japanese Stab Binding Stitches.

Four Needle Coptic Stitch

In this workshop we learned to measure, cut and paste fine, long-strand paper to chip board for the front and back covers, cut, fold and stack the plain paper interior ‘signatures’ and punch the works. Then came the four curved needles and the actual stitching to create the braided binding. So very cool!

~ Weekly Photo Challenge – Harmony + Cee’s Odd Ball ~

Posted on March 6, 2016 by Lindy Le Coq

This week’s photo challenge asks us to explore the concept of harmony. Whether it’s in music or in life, harmony involves balance, symmetry and congruity: “the quality of forming a pleasing and consistent whole.”

While vacationing at Beach Haven, Orcas Island last October, I took this photo of the front window sill of our cabin. We store our reading and reference books and binoculars here. In the corner to the right side, Creighton keeps his bass guitar at hand. It is a time of deep harmony and peace for both of us.

~ Friday Flyers – Blue Jay Way ~

Posted on March 4, 2016 by Lindy Le Coq

Stellar’s Blue Jays live in my neighborhood year round. This one, perched high in the bare branches, seemed oblivious to me as I walked under the tree.

If it’s from nature and is in the air (or can get there!) it’s a Friday Flyer!

~ Slice of Life ~ WPC – State of Mind ~

Posted on March 2, 2016 by Lindy Le Coq

Tonight my mental, physical, spiritual and emotional being feels meshed in a many-layered dance which holds me centered on earth and suspended in time.

I leap, turn, spin, stand still, step back and again find I still face now.

Earth, moon, sun, stars all in continual motion. Life flows.

State of Mind

~ Trees of Life & Light ~ Monochrome Monday ~

Posted on March 1, 2016 by Lindy Le Coq

Yesterday, we celebrated my father’s ninety-fourth birthday. It was a little surprise party in his room with fresh (yes FRESH) Dungeness crab as the main course, and homemade carrot cake for dessert. He was very pleased.

Ninety-two years ago today, on a leap year February 29, my mother was born. She grew to be a beautiful, strong woman — a trail-blazer — with empathy as deep as Crater Lake. It is now twenty years since she passed.
