tamarind bloom


The inner veinery of tamarind pods that Conor @ RedCatBlackCat sent me earlier this year.

Look what else my good old buddy saved for me after eating the sweet sour tamarind pulp:


Tamarind seeds! Click for larger image to see the lovely blue gem among the pebble of seeds. As if everything else isn't enough already. :).

I love it all, Conor. *You* are wonderful. The red dragonflies on the card you sent have also been flying in my head lately...


I have these around me as i am finishing up with my promise spoons. Want to do something with the tamarind veinery afterwards. i wonder what.

  2. Always good to have people around you who know exactly what inspires. Sounds like the beginning of a good story; like you have to walk backwards into a garden under a special moon and plant the blue pebble with the seeds or some such thing. But beware the agency of objects! Folktales can have unexpected endings.

  4. why do i think you have a special sense of the intimate, the attention of a giant to the small vibrations of life. i like this thought.

    don't know what EXactly a tamarand is. You talked about an image on my blog which was a grapefruit, called it that--

    anyone who becomes a linguist is groovy in my book (where did that word come from)??

    I wish you lots and lots of graces! What does red mean to you two? Tell us. Please. :)

  5. occurs to me; those roots could be a just grown conversation--the lines like sentence structures and the filaments their emotional hope of reaching in.

  6. Hello- I've been meaning to drop by and say hello for a while. I check out your blog most days - Thanks for all your lovely words on lasuza - these little comments mean so much so I feel guilty for not replying sooner. I so enjoyed your dark soft red mysterious painting - dawn, dusk a storm brewing in a bloody sky. I hope your tamarind blooms. Be well.
