A fake wood circular table top has 9 different woven ornaments lying on it. Each is structured around crossed sticks wound with wool. The shapes are mostly diamonds using a pair of crossed sticks and wrapped in two different colours of wool. One uses three sticks to make a hexagonal shape. The wool is a mix of white, orange, yellow, purples, blues and pinks. A few of the Ojo de Dios also have a wool tassel on one corner.

Ran a workshop on Wednesday at a nearby residential care home making Ojo de Dios using wool scraps and leftover bits of willow – great fun and really lovely results from a simple and meditative process

Faux henna hand painting done with “tattoo” markers. Left hand only, because I’m right handed. Apple Watch on wrist. Wood table in background

Large collection of earrings on a cool wood earring holder I’ve had forever. I bought it at the Portland Saturday market probably 30+ years ago. Most of the earrings I made myself - all of the beaded ones, sone of the metal ones. They are arranged by color because I have OCD tendencies.

Handmade paper star made with brown paper bags - on a grey bedspread background. Concentric circles/rings and jagged edges.

A collection of handmade ojos de dios - or god’s eyes made with green, yellow, gray and purple yarn. 3 are made with wooden dowels. One is made with rough, uneven sticks painted black (my first attempt).

I was traveling yesterday 🚗 and then ran a bunch of errands in the city. I fell asleep last night and forgot to post the #FebruARTy theme #rings for the 10th. I hope it’s okay to post a day late. 😁 #weddingrings #earRINGS #star #ojodedios #godseye #handmade #papercrafts #beads #henna #expatinmexico
