Dream A Little Dream

I call this altar cloth TIL DEATH TO US PART. I see a woman in her wedding car, wearing a ring that joins her in a soul bond. Tell me what you see?

This Fox one is so amazing in person, it's so sparkly with so meanings on so many levels. Someone who connects with dreams and spirit animal of Fox will love this one.

This angel turned out to be spectacular. I wish I could get more of this fabric. I don't really know how they are going to turn out until I make them, and the fabrics are sometimes blink and you miss it.

May Angels be with you tonight.

See you at The Spiritual Co-Op online market (facebook).

 

Another four ancestor altar cloths

Oops, sideways.

"Our dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them."

This one has gone to it's forever home.

"My ancestors have brought me to this stage of my life. Thank you"

"We're all immortal as long as our stories are told." has gone to its forever home.

"We are just stars in our family's constellation."

I love this particular saying.... I have bought the children a telescope as a combined Christmas gift, so this is dear to my heart.

Ancestors within me....

I asked for suggestions for these ancestor altar cloth words, and this one was a suggestion.

Ancestors within me, wild and free, Guide and protect me for eternity.

I know that I have gifts passed from my paternal Nanna Vera, who was a gifted seamstress and crocheter. She taught her daughters (my aunties) to sew, and they went on to spin wool, dye it, knit, and weave; winning many awards for their creations.

And I also believe that I have inherited the loving homemaker energies of my maternal Great grandmother Dolly, who was the president of the Victoria CWA. She loved creative cooking, stitching, patching and oil painting to name a few passions.

Sometimes these gifts skip a generation, or we may not know where they came from.... but they are definitely gifts from the ancestors, so I can indeed say, the ancestors are within me.

Plus, check out this fabric! Those hats!

The songs of our ancestors....

The songs of our ancestors are also the songs of our children.

This has a few different meanings for me, more than the tribal songs, or Sunday school songs. or Kumbuyah, or Amazing Grace....

I also mean as a child that the songs I heard my parents playing on the record player remind me of a time when i felt cared for, and secure.... and in turn I enjoy those songs... and now my children experience something similar as I play " By the rivers of Babylon" and "Rose Garden".

The cloth shows traditional offerings of food, skulls, and a statue of Gaia.

This particular print is spectacular, and I look forward to using it on the front of a dress for myself.

This ancestry altar cloth has gone to it's forever home.

Skulls

I have gathered these amazing skull fabrics together, and  just some ideas for further ancestory cloths. These are sure to be a hit with the thinning of the veils at the end of this month.

I am going to use the leftover pieces for a dress for myself.
