Full Moon

 

Last night's full moon seemed a spotlight on the plane's wing. I had to think twice to know what that bright spot in the sky actually was. With Rochester's city lights below, I grabbed the chance to record this on my phone. Not the best camera to record, but I wanted to capture the full moon

Full Moon

 I should really highlight my entire patch of marvelous daylilies that were decimated by deer (I'll imagine it was a BUCK) but that would bring tears. Instead feast on these two prints using a soy wax screen. Think shirt, skirt, dress, or OK, a great frame for a kid's quilts. And the kid can be a grown-up. Happy full moon,

Full Moon

My full moon fill-in. Sometimes I look at prints that I've done (this is a detail) and can't figure out just how-in-the-heck I made that. But I have an idea that I've got a monoprint here where I've printed to the table, then pulled a print from that. I'll add my meager full moon shot over the expressway tonight.

 

Flower Moon

 

I promised myself that when I get caught up in my computer work, I'd visit the garden stores and add to my garden. For now, this viburnum, as sweet and fragrant as it is, will have to do for the Flower Moon this month. And it might be a few days before I'm ready to get those annuals.

Full Moon April's Pink

 But mine is not. It's blue, and courtesy of the Vision Museum and its collection of contemporary glass. There's a lot to love there, and glass of all colors, just not one I could remember was pink. Happy full moon day (yesterday!).

Worm Moon

An apt picture fill in for the full Worm Moon is this graphic of the ever growing Chicago airport. I love the sepia tone, the aerial view -- as if we had the pilot's view -- that I found in the airport this week. Part of a series that showed the airport's timeline growth. 

Snow Moon

A snap fill-in for the full "snow moon" tonight. This is page from The New Yorker magazine where the cartoon illustration on the page's reverse layered-in when lit by the morning light from behind. It reminded me of an exhibition of Robert Heinecken's work I remember from an exhibit of the 80s. 

 

Full Moon

It's a rare site to have an actual photo of the full moon in my post, but that's because it's not my camera! It was time for a soak in a wood-fired hot tub under the stars with some hard cider to celebrate. I'll get to work soon enough. For now, it's cheers to the Wolf Moon.
 

Full Moon for December

Twilight yields the full moon, not as spectacular as viewed naturally, but capturable. I returned from the studio with little success on the thermofax prints as my machine would no longer work to burn the film. And we tried every setting a variable. But, even if it worked, it is still a small graphic size.
 

Super Moon

I'm still in the land of super everything -- sun, amusements, gardens -- and as you all know, can't get a good image of the full moon on my camera. So I offer a garden ornament from Lotusland in Santa Barbara for a fill in. Should you be near this fabulous garden, don't pass it by.
 

Hunter's Moon

The clear sky holds that glorious supermoon still can't be captured by my meager camera lens. So, here is a detail of a piece I've printed. Many who have taken my printing class know this is a monoprint because the screen prints is drawn through. 
 

Harvest Supermoon with Surprise

A detail of fabric I have added this week to teh website store predicts tonight's Supermoon. Bonus -- there is also a partial luner eclipse. Can't say I'll be able to see it amid the city lights, but someone will get a kick. 
 

July and the Full Moon

July's full moon I never saw. I was bed before the light faded, so high a latitude in Juneau, I hadn't the energy to wait for it. So, a fabulous poppy from the Botanical Garden here, posting 9:30 Juneau time, but from 1:30 Rochester time, where I'm landed at last, and we're counting this post as Tuesday. Time!
 

Full Moon

These weeds will always be present. Tonight as I sought a fill moon substitute, available light made them look  better than they represent -- a takeover in the iris bed. Happy full moon May!
 

Full Moon for March

This is the best I could do with my meager camera in my attempt to catch the glowing orange full moon rising over the expressway concrete barrier. Although the vines remind me of my morning finish of the large quilt I'm working on. Tonight was binding, yes, by the light of the moon.
 

Minor Moon

Tonight's full moon is the smallest of the full moons, at least in appearance, as it is near its apogee. The farthest away from the earth in its orbit means that we need to reach out further, keeping it in sight. There's the goal for the week -- wait for it to come back nearer, it always does.
 

Wolf Moon

Who's howling? I'm not howling? It's the precursor to the total eclipse (April 8) that was on my mind when I had to pick up this sugar spill. It's the small images we keep that inform the things we make. 
 

Full Moon Long Ago

My full moon for this month comes from my latest trip to Baltimore Museum of Art. This is a drawing of mixed media on paper from about 1695 by Maria Clare Eimmart of the moon's surface. Works from only women were shown, and my guess is that these were not commoners, but had status and time to create.

 

Scenic Photos

I know, I know. Your Facebook feed is flooded with spectacular photos of the super-blue moon. But sometimes a gal just has to stop and get that gallon of milk and the view is clear and a snap away. So, there. I'll go home and view it from my spot there as well. But this is reality.
 

The Almost Moon

Last night's almost Supermoon was raring to go. I was out of the city, the sky was clear, and I figured the supermoon day might not give me a chance. So, let's go for two posts on the Blue Moon Supermoon,
