My offering for this year's Lenten season. Many of the same elements as years gone by (frugal :) but a few new additions to the mix, including a friend's purple sheer swags from her daughter's old bedroom being remodeled.....normally I start out smaller, and add to it as we go through Lent. This year that's not an option, so I just went for it :) The gray circles represent the silver coins Judas received for betraying Jesus. The knotted silvery fabric reminded me of the chain mail soldier's armor. There's ropes, crosses, and plenty of black & purple ribbons and fabric. It co-ordinates with our Paraments nicely, I think. At least that's what I was shooting for...... I've been including a little write-up in our newsletter explaining my thought process for each mobile. Folks tell me it's helping them capture the vision :) And this way, I can explain that there's a method to my madness :) Walk Dusty, people......
This beautiful wall hanging was created by one of our "quilter extraordinaire" members and is just stunning hanging on the side wall of the Sanctuary. We needed something new for the Lenten season, but this might find a home here for years to come. Thanks Terry :)
