About 2 years ago I started work on a shoulder bag. I got almost done and for some reason I couldn’t move any further. I got the central front and back motifs and half of the corner bits embroidered but couldn’t finish the other half of the corner bits (8 total). I brought it in to show to my boss at the time and told her I didn’t know that it was supposed to be a bag. And she said:
You should put it on the back of a jacket. And she was right so I did. I opted not to put the pentagram on the back of the jacket. Even though I live in a very forward thinking part of the country and I work at a liberal university and even though having a shield on your back sounds like a good idea it felt like a target instead. I put the corner motifs at the bottom of the jacket sides.
Blurry but it gives a placement visual
Right now the pentragram piece hangs beneath my kitchen altar hanging but at some point I am probably going to do something a bit more formal with it. More waves with spirals, corner motifs not completed.

OMG that’s gorgous!
It is completely lovely. It appears to me that you have reached perfection with this artform π
oooh don’t tell the gods…
