As the Labor Day holiday comes to an end I think about what new things I would like to add to my life and what old things I would like to remove. I feel like it is a good time to begin new patterns. I am not sure but I think the Jewish new year is right around the corner. I must have been Jewish in a past life.
Or perhaps it is just the stark change in the air that fall brings, that makes me feel like I myself am ready to be planted for the winter harvest. So perhaps not a Jew in a past life, but a bright orange pumpkin (the pumpkin and I look more a like.)
Speaking of the fall harvest, currently I am working on a goddess shrine. My husband found a cardboard crate that when turned upside down looks like a small table. To create the shrine I used Sage Woman magazines, paint, decoupage, sequins, plastic jewels, sharpies and feathers. I began the project by cliping out images of women cooking, praying and loving. I also clipped out a prayer about sacred space.
I then painted the little table and decoupaged the images on it. The paint I used smeared under the decoupage, which gave it a nice tie dyed look. Then I used gold and silver sharpie where I wanted solid color.
I am currently working on adding sequins and feathers. I am thinking of giving it to my sister for winter solstice. I will post pictures.
Time is no longer a burden.
Cheers
Spring
