I dance with Love
the water cycle,
to enhance and transform my love with water
I connect with love to transform the water cycle at home and in my life. Water transforms me. I keep water on the property thru right vegetation, cover crops and grasses. I mulch to slow evaporation, I create berms and swales to direct the flow of the water to plants. I notice how evaporation occurs more quickly with unmulched, uncovered, uncovercropped dirt and take steps to slow it. I am responsible for and transformed by my water. I notice how water condensates and I use water from the a/c. I notice the condensate (dew) on the long-grass. This creates more humidity, less dryness in summer. I collect precipitation with swales, water barrels and totes and use ollas in drier areas for slow drip.
Perfect for:
* Emotional Transformation
* Going to a body of water to center yourself
* Group centering activity at body of water
* Client calming upon arrival at body of water

This Gift wrapping or altar cloth is made in the spirit of a Traditional Japanese Furoshiki
It has a reversible Finished back. It is made with the traditional way of hiding seams inside with no raw edges. It takes extra time to do this additional step.
What is Furoshiki (Japanese fabric wrapping)
I love this Japanese art form of reducing my footprint and making art at the same time. My greatest wish is to receive one back wrapped in a gift!!! It is meant to be circular.
When it comes to gift-wrapping furoshiki is the perfect way to convey thoughtfulness and courtesy through the care taken in the choice of wrapping and in the way the fabric is folded and tied.
When plastic bags began being used in Japan, furoshiki use declined substantially. A resurgence in the artform has occurred as environmental awareness is increasing and many modern furoshiki are designed with contemporary fabrics seeking to appeal to younger generations. Whereas regular bags have a fixed amount of space that can only carry a particular type of object, a furoshiki is highly versatile and can be adapted to suit the exacts needs of the specific objects to be carried.
Traditionally both the colour and the printed design on the furoshiki is meaningful, so it's important to choose the correct cloth for the occasion. The giver presents the receiver with the gift, unveils it then keeps the cloth for the next use
FUROSHIKI EMBRACES THE PHILOSOPHY OF ECO-FRIENDLY LIVING BY CHALLENGING US ON HOW MANY ITEMS WE REALLY NEED. THIS BEAUTIFUL AND INGENIOUS ART ALLOWS ONE OBJECT TO HAVE MANY USES SIMPLY BY FOLDING AND TYING THE CLOTH IN A DIFFERENT WAY.
Traditional Furoshiki
While Japanese culture is not alone in using fabric wrapping, furoshiki has a distinctive style reflecting their interest in ceremony, beauty, multi-functional objects and thoughtful detail in their approach to everyday living.
Cloth wrapping has been used for over 1200 years in Japan and the word furoshiki came about during the Edo period (1603-1868) when the cloths were commonly used in bath houses to wrap clothes and as a bath mat. The word furoshiki means 'bath spread'.
Over time, they developed a multitude of uses and patterns that are both elegant and functional. One furoshiki cloth can be used for:
wrapping a gift
a bag for shopping
decorating a handbag
a picnic hamper
a tablecloth
household decor
a scarf, belt or bandana
wrapping clothes when travelling
Eco-fabric wrapping
Western culture is beginning to pick up on furoshiki and it's easy to wrap your own gifts. It's even quicker than paper wrapping!
Including some instructions on how to tie a furoshiki as part of your gift is a nice touch, and it's also great to give the person a demonstration to show them just how easy it is. This ensures your furoshiki is high chance of being passed on and spreading and eco-friendly fabric wrapping message on its' journey.
Here are some affordable and eco-friendly ideas for acquiring or making your furoshiki cloths:
1. find scarfs in op-shops
2. find fabric at an op-shop
3. decorate calico fabric using dyes, fabric paint or fabric pens
4. cut up old sheets and decorate them
5. use fabric samples from a recycling centre
6. ask friends who sew for any unwanted over-cuts
7. use a bandana, handkerchief or teatowel (although it's not square you can still use it to flat wrap a present).
Also
Korean wrapping cloths (known as bojagi in Korean) are celebrated for both their form and function. As wrapping cloths, bojagi were used ubiquitously in premodern Korea to wrap items for transport or storage, to cover food, and even to protect precious goods. Designs range from embroidered symbolic depictions of nature to patchworks of random scraps of cloth in an array of colors. Popularly used by all classes of Korean society, these square- or rectangle-shaped textiles were made from various materials such as silk, ramie (a linen- or silk-like fabric made from ramie, a perennial plant from the nettle family native to eastern Asia), gossamer, and cotton. Although historical records like the Samguk sagi (Annals of the Three Kingdoms) indicate the use of bojagi as early as the Three Kingdoms period (57 B.C.–A.D. 668), extant examples are largely from the Joseon period (1392–1910).Covering Cloth (Bojagi), Korea, Joseon dynasty (1392–1910), late 19th–early 20th century, Costume Council Fund
Exclusively produced by women, the colorfully creative and whimsical nature of these textiles extols the artistic virtues of Korean women in a society long dominated by the Confucian hierarchy and male intellectual pursuits. Records indicate that making bojagi was a source of bonding and expression for Korean women who sewed their creations to be given as heirloom mementos to their daughters and daughters-in-law.

Conch Altar Cloth - Furoshiki
$125.00
Sold out
This handmade wrap I made from recycled fabrics represents the conch shell. Embroidered and blessed with the sacred conch. Embroidered with the words CONCH - I FIND MY PLEASURE WITHIN
It is a holy cloth for your altar, made to help you with your feminine voice.
Conch shells symbolize such feminine aspects as birth, regeneration, marriage and fertility. We really need to visualize coming into sacred femininity pleasure to give us confidence to the changes that we need to make in the world. Do you need the conch sacred qualities in your life?
The conch has a long history of ritualistic use in a variety of cultures and religions. Ancient believers in these practices have maintained that conch shells hold certain metaphysical and spiritual qualities. Conch shells also are used by Buddhists as receptacles for holy water. God Vishnu blew into a conch shell and made the first sound in all creation, a sacred sound known as "aum." Representing the five elements--earth, water, fire, air and space, the conch shell is blown at the beginning of sacred rituals because of the belief that the vibrations emitted from the conch shell will dispel negative energy and purify the environment. In Islam, the conch shell represents hearing the divine word, while ancient Greeks and Romans used the conch shell to symbolize their respective sea deities. The conch shell was even part of the belief system of the ancient Mayans, who believed its spiral shape represented infinity.
YOU CAN NOW HAVE THIS ON YOUR VERY OWN ALTAR!
