It’s the words mystery and magical that keep coming back to me when I look at my Night Bird Potholders.
For a good part of my life I was searching for another reality to escape into. I found those realities in stories, books, and in my own imagination.
Somehow these birds, flying at night among the blooming flowers, evoked that feeling again. The feeling of another reality, one that the birds and flowers know but is shut off to us humans. Or maybe only accessible to us in our imagination and dreams.
Mysterious and magical, I know the place these bird inhabit is scented with Jasmine and is as promising as it is dark.
I believe it is the difficult political times we are going through, that made me craved a bit of that old magic back in my life.
My Night Bird Potholders are $25 each + $5 shipping for one or more. You can see them all and buy them in my Etsy Shop, just click here.
If the center one in the middle row is still available, I would love to have it. It is the last one displayed on the tree as well, if I’m correct. I just received my chicken potholder a few days ago – I seem to be unable to control my desire for more!
I’m sorry LoisJean that one is sold. But I do appreciate your appetite for my potholders. I was thinking how I’ve been making potholders for sixteen years now. They have changed as I have and in one tell my story, but also the story. But also the that connection between me and the people who buy them and those people to each other, even if you all don’t know each other.
I think that Mystical and Magical can be our default safe place.
sometimes it just works Linda. :)
