EARTHWALKER WALL HANGING
Full view
Sold. Thank you Wayne!
Although I love the blue of the ocean and the blue of the sky I usually don’t decorate my home with blue. I do, however, wear blue clothing. When I was rummaging through my stash of cloth, looking for just the right material for a new piece I had formulated in my mind, I found remnants of an old cafetan that I had purchased from J. Peterman decades ago. I love the soft batiked look of the blue fabric which makes me feel it has been worn by women of some past civilization. I knew instantly that this fabric would work well for my Earthwalker
Here is her story:
EARTHWALKER
She arrived from infinite space of her
own choice.
She brought with her only faint
memories of lives lived before. In
her memories of all those lives, one
over-all theme seemed to prevail..the
ribbon of harmony in all things.
More memories stirred and she saw
herself in a distant time, placing her
ear to the ground and hearing the great
mother whisper to her. “Listen,” she
said, “to the pulse of all life.”
All nature was speaking to her and she
was prepared to listen to the language
of the stones..for even the stones have
voices. The outer hard surface of a
stone is merely the covering and the
spirit lives within..just as our bodies
are only temporary houses for our souls.
She listened to the garden and with
relaxed vision, she saw and heard the
nature spirits respond to the commands
of the Devas..and each fruit and
vegetable fulfilled their promise. She
listened to the stream trickle past and
on to a greater end.
She was at peace and entered into the
silence,and being aware of the spiritual
light, she became connected to the
spiritual essence and knew that all is in
flow..all nature is alive..THERE IS NO
DEATH..only change.

I used a beaded sash for her headpiece, horsehair (taken from the tail) other old fabrics and blue and a beige beaded necklace. She is 8” wide by 25” high and priced at just $79.00 Hope you like her.
I have just placed her on Etsy where you can see more views. You can also purchase from me directly by contacting me by e-mail.
Thanks so much for viewing.
