Goddess, Runes and Winter Trees...

I've been asked to come up with an "alternative" "Winter Celebration" workshop for the festive season at Arts Alive in Crickhowell to take place on the first weekend in December.

So...

...I've decided on a mixture of "Winter Trees", "Goddess" and "Runes"

Maybe we can make some little "amulet books" with the rune blocks....

......or something else.....

...who knows......

:-)

Teeth!

My goddess/earth spirit pieces needed a little "something" to accompany them...

...so I made some faux bone out of polymer clay....

...and used some 30,000 year old incised deer teeth as inspiration!!

More when they're finished...

...Textile Heaven (Warning ...lots of piccies!!)

Sorry for being a bit of a blog-slug lately...

..but a bit of boring production is required and I don't want to make you go to sleep :-o

After a busy day at Busy Bees....

...we decided to have a mooching day on Sunday.

The sun was out....

...it was lovely and warm....

...so we went to Artique....

...as one does on such a day. :-)))

Enjoy!!

Uzbek yurt bands...

...camel girths...

Piles of rugs....

Uzbek embroidered hats...

Silver and embroidered anklets...

Talismanic protection on an afghan dress...

Ralli bag...

Kutchi embroidered dress...

Beautiful beads...

...and blessings...

...on every one of you.
