Triple Moon Goddess
About this design:
Two drop peyote stitch
the three phases of the moon, waxing, full, waning, a goddess (Luna) lifts her arms to the heavens reaching for the stars, bound to her home in the moon, she weeps, causing the waves to crash wildly. As the moon waxes, she is a child growing to the full womanhood, as the moon wanes she is the old mother going to her place of rest.
I made it to symbolize the goddess in every woman. The moons can be filed in as white and the outlines and goddess can be any color on a black background
finished product soon to be posted as well
Components:
make with seed beads or delicas, use pony beads to make a wall hanging...the imagination is where it begins and endsRead the comments (or add your own)
