Description

This altar piece/shoulder stole was created during a liminal time of flow and creativity upon returning home from a time of ancestral travel to Ireland.
One of the {many} magical places I visited was on the coast of Northern Ireland where I was completely taken by a huge swath of earth and soil that contained large quantities of Red and Black Ochre.

Interestingly enough I had already started a weaving before I left using black and red yarns that reminded me of earth ochre, so upon returning home this piece was what started it all…

After I finished it and was taking photos I swung it over my shoulder and it sat so perfectly, I thought oh wow this could easily also be a shoulder stole or even a small accent piece if placed over both shoulders, which I love because I think everything sacred should also be multi-purpose!

I am including along with this piece a small vial of Red ochre that I have gathered on my travels along with a recipe for turning it into watercolour paint.

The length of this piece is 82″ long not including the tassels.

*The necklace shown here was paired with the stole because they looked so good together, but does not come with the it. However this necklace is available in my online store here.*
