First - can all of you save a few pieces of your tesserae - especially the ones on the edges - put them in a Zip-Lock bag, write your name on the bag and provide it to us to keep with your squares. The reason for this is that some pieces will most likely fall out when we transport the squares to Haiti. We'll need the pieces to cut out repair pieces. Cheryl Anderson has already thought to do that and we all need to do it. If you're coming to this week's meeting, you can bring your bag of stuff to the meeting and give it to me.-Thanks!
ALSO, AT THE MEETING, WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE WHAT EVERYONE IS DOING WITH THEIR VEVES. PLEASE BRING THEM TO MEETING - FINISHED OR UNFINISHED.
Those who attended the "quilting bee" on Saturday had a lot of fun AND we got to see several veve squares that have been dropped off at Mosaic on a Stick. - See below! Yippee!
Below is Cheryl Anderson's colorful Veve for Kafou. Kafou is the malevolent trickster who diverts humans from their true paths. It's beautiful.
Here is Connie Cohen's Djab. Djabs are personal spirits who belong to a specific person via a magical contract. They perform services such as warding off enemies, increasing one's wealth, etc. Djab is one of my personal favorites. Connie - is the key in the lower right an offering?
This is Beth Karjala's Damballah. He is the great serpent and the symbol of fertility. He is fond of eggs which is why Beth included an egg in the Veve. Beth used broken china to make Damballah and it looks great!
Here is Gil's Damballah and Aida Ouedo. Damballah's wife is the beautiful spirit Aido Ouedo - she is the rainbow!
Here is Trudy Vrchota's Gran Bwa, ruler of the forest and master of herbal remedies. Trudy included some flowers and foliage as and offering to Gran Bwa.
