The color is a bit off, but it’s the best I could do with the rain outside. I’ve found with the contrasting colors it’s hard to get an accurate photo of my Meditation Mats indoors.
While I worry about getting an accurate photo of my work, Susan sent me an email after buying my NightSky Meditation Mat for a dear friend.
I want to share some of it because her words are as accurate as I wish the colors in my photos were. But they go beyond accuracy too, they get to the heart of it all….
“Not only will Night Sky be valued….but I know….from having *known* and followed you and your work and art and life over many many years……how important it is to YOU also…..even during the *creation* process…..the meaning each of the fabrics had to its original owner….the fact that you feel that when you are creating…and know that it will have an impact on most of the people that have/ purchase your art. It is as if it is alive…your pieces have a life energy that comes not only from you..but from the people before…..and it will live on in the future.”
Carolyn gave me the “golden tree” at the center of this Meditation Mat some years ago. It was a piece of clothing and I’ve used parts of it over the years.
There’s fabric and scraps from Karen and Lorry, Ute and Chris. And those are only the ones I can remember. Maybe there’s a piece of fabric that someone reading this sent me. I thank you for it. Sometimes it takes years for me to use a piece of fabric, and sometimes, like that thin line of printed purple between the yellow and border, I use small piece of yards of fabric for years.
My Golden Tree Mediation Mat is sold.
