#stars | Tottie Talks Crafts Blog

Long ago and far away, when my sister and I were little, our family lived in a small prairie town that was safe enough for children to be free range.

On Thursday evenings, my sister and I would walk to choir practice and then home again in the dark.

The stars were incredible! The Milky Way poured across the sky like a gigantic silk scarf that felt close enough to touch.

Sometimes we stood in awe and stared up at the Northern lights.

Always, always, we made wishes on the stars that sparkled, just out of reach.

This mixed media Woven Woman is partly a sense memory of those magical times with my sister, and partly a celebration of Sacred Geometry.

Her name is: “Every Star Invites a Wish”.

Please feel free to make wishes upon her- whether it’s for wellness, peace, calm, clarity, serenity, kindness, wisdom, abundance, or any and all good things for yourself and for everyone, everywhere, may all your lovely wishes come true.

I’m posting all the images from the Oracle of Stillness here on www.tottietalkscrafts.com

When my father died, a friend sent me a lovely card that has been a touchstone for me ever since.

On the front of the card, there was a beautiful print of the night sky, showing the stars shining brightly.

It said: The Inuit people believe that the stars are the campfires of our Ancestors, shining in their villages in the sky. The twinkling is the Ancestors, sending their love and laughter back to us….

This image has stayed with me and is a source of comfort to me and I often dream of the laughter of the stars..

And, so, this mixed media Woven Woman from the ‘Oracle of Stillness’ series is:

“The Laughter of the Stars”.
