SamArtDog: medicine cape

Sunday, November 22, 2009

I thankfully out-lived thinking I could sew and painted my medicine cape instead.

So very beautiful!; November 22, 2009 at 8:24 PM
SamArtDog said...: Loriann-- You never show ignorance when you show curiosity. "Medicine" means "spirit". Loosely put, you design and make a cape (or mask) to represent and protect your spirit. It's a completely intuitive art. I'd love to see yours; I know it would be beautiful. It's up to you...

Patrice-- Same to you.; November 23, 2009 at 9:38 AM
