Rose-Mother

Soft sunken folds,
Of rose and petal and pearlescent glow.
Warm sands
and the gentle gold
Of all suns.

Where the warp meets the weft
A place of nurture is tended into being.

Cloth, our most intimate ally,
Cocoons us in safety
And holds us in the strong
Steady hands of our
Earth-Mother.

This is the fourth piece to arise from my loom as part of my Becoming Mother collection. It celebrates the softness, strength and boundaries required to thrive in this Life. It honours a Mothers place in offering unconditional love, and tends to the Mother as a spirtual practise.

I’ve worked with the essence of the Rose for many moons now. And in my journey of learning what I wish to bring into my time as 'Mother', Rose has presented itself as a holder of balance. The divine beauty held within the petal and the thorn have offered their wisdom in abundance. And every time these tones ask to be danced, I surrender to their purity, their beauty and their sense of utter grace.

This shawl marries soft uk Alpaca fleece, wild harvested muga and penduncle silk, a cotton and linen warp thread and the soft folds of locally milled wools.

There is the option to buy a hand crafted Shawl pin, shaped by my Partner from Local foraged Devon Oak, finished with Organic Linseed oil. You'll find the listing in the 'products' section of the website.

There is always the option to pay in instalments. Get in contact via email if you would like to discuss a payment plan.

With Gratitude to Lauren of Bare Folk Photography for the beautiful Imagery.
