i don't think i've talked about this project yet? it's an altar cloth made with 36 woven squares made with continuous strand weaving and seamed together before lightly felting. it should be about a meter square when finished.

i'm planning on embroidering it afterwards, but that is another project. 😅

i'm sloooooooowly working my way thru my backlog of unfinished objects.

Venus Series 1/? After Botticelli #venus #watercolor #devotionalart

My first devotional project for Hekate! I chose this design after I was inspired by a very enchanting dream.
While I stitched, I memorized the Orphic Hymn to Hekate, and I completed it last night just in time for the New Moon so I could dedicate it. Here's to my very first Deipnon, and hopefully many more to come!

Original drawing is *not* mine, I just stitched a copy of it. Credit goes to Eliza Gauger, who has a beautiful book called "Problem Glyphs" with some really powerful occult-style sigil art. problemglyphs.tumblr.com

This Friday's art appreciation moment: The Archangel Gabriel by Kehinde Wiley, as seen at the Gardner Museum. I was amazed by this image, displayed alongside the gold images created by Simone Martini, from the late 1200s. #art #gold #devotionalart

Here's your early save-the-date notice for an exciting thing I'm planning in 2023:
Ink Sacrament
A Ritual Tattoo Intensive
Memorial Day weekend - May 25 - 28, 2023
La Selva Beach, California
This will be a multi-day retreat at a private homestead during which participants can receive a consecrated tattoo within a dedicated ritual space. Space will be quite strictly limited as I can only provide tattoos to a limited number of people within a weekend. I'm deep into planning mode with my co-hosts, and there will be more details to come soon. For now just mark your calendars and stay tuned!

I've been working on this lace altar piece for the past month as a dedication to Odin, and it's finished!

This style is called "filet crochet." I designed it myself, edged with a vintage lace pattern. It represents the rune staves falling from Yggdrasil, with the word "Allfather" in elder futhark below it. I listened to a bunch of different audio versions of the #Havamal while crocheting.

3) i'm started my blog up again, and i am currently writing posts to schedule soon. it's been surprisingly fun 🧡

i'm thinking about starting up the insta spin 15 a day hashtag here, but with just devotional fiber arts in general?

the original intent is to take out your spinning wips and work on them for 15 minutes a day to chip away at the block, but i'm wondering if that would help me to get this altar cloth finished.

15 minutes a day is better than it sitting there staring at me unfinished. 😅
