February Crafts

I finished my Wyrd Stones, simple project. I have posted it in my photos.

My daughter and I are working on herbal bookmarks. We've been pressing herbs and flowers and then attaching them to cardstock. We've also been making decorated cards for the Spring Equinox. Sort of our way of wishing family back home a happy day of festivities.

No one suggested carving a heart out for valentine's ..lol..joke

I have finished my craft. I made a bottle that I will incorporate into my altar dedicated to Aegir, Ran and their nine daughers. I found the jar at walmart: I think originally it was meant for perfume. I also bought some course feeling fabric that looks like something you'd deal with at the docks. Within the jar, I placed:

• Bones from the spinal column of a fish
• Shark teeth and a bit of jaw crushed into powder
• Coral bits and fragments
• Assorted shells
• A little bit of sand
• The spike from a sea urchin
• One drop of my own blood
• Essential oils (to make it smell nice)

I started on my own grimoire/spellbook/book of shadows and added some stuff to it. It's far from complete - it probably never will be, but it continues to grow. So far, I've just been writing out pages, which I'll put into a decorated black binder, and then pretty much start the process all over again with more blank paper. It's somewhat daunting.

Next month, or maybe this one, I'd like to take up whittling, and hopefully make something that doesn't look like a wooden turd. :P
