Basic instructions encourage members to share ideas and explore a variety of materials with one another. In some African cultures women adorn their waists with charms on a waist band to honor and protect their female organs. The charmed waist bands are worn under clothing or exposed, as a way of celebrating the feminine creative spirit. This project is quite simple in task, but requires a thoughtful mindset when picking out your band and charms. Envision the creative energy you hope to bring to your body as you search for your materials. Also, consider the way the band and charm will feel next to your skin. What you'll need: One or more charms or beads and a band. junk box suggestion! charms and beads: Bring several pieces to your meeting and share your ideas with the circle. bands: Thin silk or satin ribbons, leather cord, beading cord, old necklaces and chains. other materials: Anything else that you might want to add or dangle — paint or nail polish to detail your charm, flower essences (to scent your band!) or a photo for a locket. Also, consider whether you'll need adhering materials and prepare accordingly. camera — Be sure to take pictures of your creations! Send photos in and we will post them in the gallery. When you revel in your inventiveness, you inspire not only yourself, but help other sisters to blossom as well! |
