Stitch a soulful world...
Braiding Relationships.... group mandala needle felting project. From common threads, a world of strength and beauty we are stitching.
This was presented to Jodi at
The Violence Prevention Center of Cook County.
(See About and Events for additional mandala projects.)
Completed mandala created by congregation and community at First Congregational Church in Grand Marais:
Peace. How do we find peace, personally and politically?
Peace requires respectful relationship.... to self..... to one another..... to Earth and all her creatures..... to the larger whole.
What if simple fibres offer a very real avenue toward this peace? The thesis of PEACE FIBRES is exactly this! Fibre work connects us across time, across space, within.
Oneness, the intersection of science, art, and spirituality through community. From the DNA threads of which we are all formed, to the compassionate sheltering of nations torn apart by war or natural disaster, to the inspirational art that adorns our walls and tables, fibres create a tapestry of oneness.
PEACE FIBRES is an invitation to participate in stitching a soulful world tapestry.
Take that first stitch now.... form a group or simply start on your own.... from common threads, a world of strength and beauty we can create.
Peace.
The pages before you offer images of fibre creations from six continents, verification of our commonality as
human beings and our interdependence with the natural world.
