Moon Tea and fiber arts

Happy tea day!

In celebration of September's full harvest moon

I wanted to share with you a simple how-to

of making moon tea.

You have all heard of 'sun tea',

well there is 'moon tea' as well.

It is said that,

"Just as the sun represents the masculine,

  the full moon will bring

 a feminine (lunar) quality to your tea

 that will help awaken your creativity

 and extract a different healing energy of the herbs."

Directions for making Moon Tea...

Place fresh or dried herbs of your choice

 and water in a jar or glass bowl

and cover with a screen to keep bugs out.

Put it out with the full moon

and leave it while you rest.

Drink upon waking in the morning.

Have a happy tea day everyone

The Fiber Art Society met recently

so today while I am having my moon tea with you,

I thought we could look at photos

of our show and tell.

Meet Laura!

She is a very talented fiber artist,

who dyes fabrics of all kinds.

She does some beautiful felting projects,

and I wanted you to see the hand dyed and felted purse she made.

It is gorgeous!

Wonderful job Laura.

I'm always excited to see her creations,

and she always has many.

Below is Happy, our Fiber Art Society president.

She is holding her unfinished art quilt she is creating

for our next show.

It is a bit hard to tell now,

but it is a bird riding on an elephant.

I know it will be beautiful,

as Happy always creates very unique pieces,

with beading and more.

Below are more pieces that were brought to show and tell.

Janet is entering this one in our World Peace show.

I love this mostly all black piece that Janet created for the show also.

These are gourd pins made by one of our basket makers

in the group. 

Aren't they lovely!

She sells them at shows,

and you would not believe how lightweight they are.

How to hang?  Vertical or horizontal?

That is the question!

Pat put lots of work into this piece!

Don't these curves look hard to do?

Cornelia made this bright and beautiful art quilt.

The leaves are 3-D.

Thanks Cornelia for loving and purchasing my

Imagine Peace art quilt.

This last photo shows Laura holding up

her nuno felted scarf.

The holes in it make it beautifiul, in my opinion,

and very unique and interesting.

She also hand dyed the wool,

and hand dyed her shirt and tie/scarf she is wearing.

The meeting was wonderful as always.

It is always fun to get together with women

who enjoy the same things as you do.

It's yet another way to...

Savor the Day!
