Beltane - a Gaelic May Day Festival,
celebrates Mother Earth in full bloom.
It is a time when Mother Earth is
fertile and abundant, half way between the Spring Equinox and the Summer
Solstice.
My free form piece applauds the flowers
that Mother Earth brings forth. The fiery reds and oranges that I have used are
symbolic of the fires that were lit in the rituals of the Celtic festival. The
fires were deemed to have protective powers and were used to protect the cattle
and crops, and also to encourage new growth from Mother Earth.
Techniques used: Free form crochet,
hyperbolic crochet, stitching, plaiting, needle-felting, and fused felting.
