This is a detail look at the willow bark pouch I made at Retreat. I love the texture of the knotholes and things growing on the bark!
We wove with the bark wet - it had been soaking in tubs of water, so it was heavy and saturated. When it finally dried out, the weavers shrink up and create spaces, but it's still very strong and sturdy. The weaving technique is called diagonal plaiting.
Awe enables us to perceive in the world intimations of the divine, to sense in small things the beginning of infinite significance, to sense the ultimate in the common and simple, to feel in the rush of the passing the stillness of the eternal.
