Over the past couple of months I have been slowly and intentionally working on a new collection of weavings dedicated to the elementals which I often refer to as the first four ancestors.

Earth, Air, Fire and Water are all fundamental to our well being and survival on this beautiful planet we call home.

Our bodies are made up of these elementals and when we die our bodies return to them as we go back to the earth.

As I sat with not just a colour palette dedicated to these beautiful ancestors I also wanted to channel the movement and play within each so those who wear these creations also can move and play, catching the trail of their essence as they cloak themselves in these weavings.

With the Earth shawl I wanted to capture the layers of soil and the depth of colours that we find within..

I was imagining clay and soil layered together and reminiscent of the images I found of these layers as they actually are in life…

Within this piece you will find threads of nettle, which is such a beautiful earth spirit, along with Tussah silk, and Mulberry silk noil.

The shawl also comes with a wooden shawl pin

The measurement is 97 ” long including tassels
