Here is my offering for this years Global Art Project for Peace. Last time I was paired up with someone in Taiwan, this time my project goes to Oakland California.
I chose to knit a "Spirit Bag". This bag was knit with #8 perle cotton and #11 seed beads on a #0000 needle. I will happily share the pattern on to anyone who asks for it. Just e mail us.
Inside the bag I will place the following....
A Coin: representative of our wealth..What we do with it is more important than how much we have.
A Glass Leaf: To remind us how fragile our Eco System has become.
A piece of Amber: The oldest substance on the earth. Although we are here for a fragment of time our actions will have lasting effects on mankind.
An ankh: The ancient symbol for "Life."What we do with our life is our
legacy.
I hope the recipient will add some meaning full things as well and hang this little bag some where where the sun will shine on it.
