February Crafts

I made something kinda like the nature jar, except it's a jar with crystals that can improve my mood and various feathers, ginger tea leaves and a pretty yellow leaf.
Not sure if that counts, but it's still nice to have.

I love your articles, especially the ones that show me how to work with the crystals. Maybe I will try some in this month:D

I may try crafting a wand. I've been looking at the idea, and it seems Ash wood is a good pick for me. I will most likely order a pack of wooden ash dowels, to make the wand straighter so it will conduct energy easier. It's not traditional, but I don't have any Ash in my area, so it's the next best thing.

do you have to have a pinterest account to add to it? (because i don't )

If you're wanting to add pins to the pinterest page, yes- you need a pinterest account.

If you mean for posting pictures of progress and other things, we can do that here on SoM.

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
