a trinket treasury

wish upon a star... indigo star

 

i've been stitching some mini indigo star talismans,

enjoying the slower pace winter is offering me.

forever inspired by jude's magic...

a trinket treasury presents: the shrine project

the first shrine in a series of mixed media vessels.
this is going to be a collection of various little shrines, representing different cultures and beliefs. mini structures holding sacred intentions. the first is from the buddhist tradition and houses the sacred mantra om mani padme hum.

shrines 2 and 3 are almost done...

this is a fun project of introspection as well, and a quiet meditation in creating with supplies i already have on hand. let's see where this takes me...

a refreshed perspective.

happy new year

a new year

a new beginning.

i'm not one for resolutions, however i do have hopes for 2012... to crawl out of my shell and share more here. to inspire and be inspired. to connect again.

wishing anyone still reading an amazing year ahead; filled with adventures, magic discoveries and above all peace amidst the chaos.

for jude

a magic feather on skin

fresh from the needle.

to carry with me always.

to remind me of the magic in this world,

jude's wisdom and

the virtues of slow.
