Travel Diaries
We are traveling light.
My fiber yarn of choice for traveling is my embroidery floss bag.
I gather some twigs fallen from the trees as we wander.
I like the kind with little knobs on both ends.
One twig is a perfect equal cross, so it is just right for a God’s eye.
Ojo de Dios.
We are visiting my favorite mountain, and I gather the colors of the mountain and its setting of sky and trees from my yarn bag.
The center, the focalizing point of the ojo is the mountain, of course.
It is glistening, snow covered, a crystal outstanding 14,000 feet in the deep blue sky, with the forest greens all around.
First I weave mountain, then sky, then forest.
Soon I will add tassels.
“Some people have had visions during sacred ceremonies in which they received guidance from Infinite Creator who appeared before them in many shapes, though the eyes of the God were so intense and overwhelming that many could only see the eye of the God. To show others the vision they had, they made the God's eye - woven on sticks with handspun yarn, colored with various types of berries, flowers, and other materials to capture the essence of their vision.” Wikipedia
