I foresee a rerun

Now this one turned out to be superb... the print was on a synthetic sateen, and after I had quilted the details I just ADORED it. 

It was so swiftly picked up by its new owner that I think I really must make it again.

This quilting was hidden with a bagged backing.

Recharge

After all that intuitive stitching, it was time for a recharge.

My dear friend Kate and I worked on each other.

We have lotus orgonite on the chakra points and under the healing bed at the same time.

Along with reiki and  the rainbow cloth. Such a beautiful recharge. It should definitely refuel my creative juices.

Full moon altar cloth

Moving along from the Spirit Dolls for a while, I was in the mood to quilt.

This piece of fabric was about 45cm square.

Then I did some extensive free motion quilting to bring it to life, added a bagged backing and voila!

She is so loved by her owner. I am sure she feels my energy when she is in use.

Spirit babies

Now this first one, really evoked the energy of the mother and her child. Protective with dreamcatcher.

Perhaps the nurturer and carer for the person who owns the spirit doll.



 

 And spirit babies, these are tiny. And I feel they depict the presence of stillborn or miscarried or unborn babies.

The angel wings are just so for they represent the idea of babies in heaven.

Once again, these are in their forever homes.

Number 2

This spirit doll also evolved under my fingertips. She carries a potion bottle and a chalice.

The wise owl is at her throat - she speaks wise words.

  Quartz crystal in one hand. Feng shui symbol for wealth in the other hand, with feathers.

  Dreamcatcher on the stomach, and a starry cloak....

And I love her face xx

She also found her forever home.

Intuitive stitching

I have made a whack of faces in polymer clay in different size, shapes and colours.

I delved into a box of fabrics, and wadding and started to get out whatever wanted to come.

And this Spirit Doll is what evolved under my fingers.

I call it intuitive stitching, because I don't have a plan at the beginning, I just see what wants to be added next.

Spirit dolls can be used at an altar, or hang on the wall. They can remind you of a person who has passed on, or you can be attracted to them for no reason at all.

This one reminds me of a cross between Romanian and Nepalese heritage.

She has found her forever home.

Makings on the move

Seven Sisters Festival. I am so blessed to have been able to attend once again, having been once 6 years ago...

With all the deep inner healing journies and experiences, there wasn't much brain left for stitching... but this is what I got to make over the 3 day festival...

I painted these round mandalas with water paint, setting my intentions for the festival.. titled centre, release and rise...

We enjoyed henna on our bodies...

Grounded with coffee and chocolate..

Enjoyed music, dancing and food...

catchup with my cousin Karla who I hadn't seen for 5 years...

I made a clay yoni... and met this lovely lady in the craft tent...

Everyone's yoni was so different, but all special...

I have placed mine on the altar at home...

Greateful I was able to catch up with a friend I met last time, 6 years ago...

And an online friend from Perth, Lynley, that I hadn't met before.

And here I am.. ready to go home for family time, and some sewing! I am craving some stitching!!!
