FAJ Acey's page

I'm not sure what kind of a background this is going on, but here's some progress shots:

 

The fabric itself has spirals as part of the pattern; serendipitously, some of them are very visible and "centred"! I have yet to attach the moon, star and bird. The shaped beads were picked and used purposefully:

Heart=belonging, love, connectedness

Bird=freedom, expression, exploration

Shell===natural world, healthy and burgeoning with vitality and freshness

Star=dreams, vision, potential

Red Drop=peace, no blood spilled, no acrimonious conflict (we *do* need some conflict to keep us thinking and stretching!), also Life with a capital L lived fully and passionately!

Coin=prosperity, not in the  fame and fortune sense, but in having our needs fulfiled and our souls satisfied

Leaf=growth, regeneration, reproduction whether in a physical, emotional or hands on (art)result

Pearl=wisdom

Moon=a long life coming to a happy celebratory conclusion

These are Peace Prayers i wish for Everyone!

Here's a detail:
