Oracle of Stillness: Grandmother Owl Dreams of Waking

This Oracle of Stillness Woven Woman is ‘ Grandmother Owl Dreams of Waking’.

She is one of the mixed media woven pieces in the Oracle of Stillness.

In the Oracle of Stillness series, there is a sequence that is based on images that arrived in dreams.

In the first dream, I dreamt I was in a gorgeous forest and the moon was full.

I looked up and there above me, was a shimmering Being who whispered that she dreams of waking. “How would that be?” I asked her.

“Like this” and she opened her wings wide, and it was like being immersed in the Northern Lights.

“And, like this” and she opened her arms wide, and I felt embraced by loving tenderness and ferocious Maternal passion with a cascade of images that flowed by so quickly that it was staggering.

“This is my coat, my Grandmother’s Coat- WEAVE THEM!!!’

– it was like a jolt of electricity shot through me.

And, then, she opened her eyes, and said:

“I am watching and waiting and dreaming”.

Oh my word! I sat bolt upright in bed and started sketching.

I had to make a loom that is specifically for weaving the Grandmother’s Coats (I’ll be showing photos of the other Grandmother’s Coat series soon).

I actually built and re-built the loom for each of the Woven Women who have emerged from the Grandmother’s Coat dreams.

The Grandmother’s Coats are still vibrating in me, and I have a feeling that they are going to be showing up in more new ways…. We shall see what dreams unfold of them and in them!

I’m posting all the images here on www.tottietalkscrafts.com

Sweet Dreams!
