#devotional-art — Public Fediverse posts

Another commission from last year: Baba Yaga. Made from dried herbs and flowers, a rudbeckia seed head, scraps of thrifted cloth, a thorn from my hawthorn tree, and a cross stitched skull. #polytheistart #devotionalart

Current ongoing WIP: a hanging for my shrine to The Mórrígan. I'll be adding more fabric and more stitching but I'm happy with how it looks so far. #handstitching #devotionalart #polytheist #polytheism

Guercino -- The Dead Christ Mourned By Two Angels --1618 -- National Gallery, London

An intelligent and usually sensitive friend of mine told me once that her own lack of religious belief meant that art with a religious subject was simply not for her.

I was saddened and taken aback by this reaction. I have not an ounce of religious belief, yet I immerse myself in this picture as I might do in a narrative or a piece of music and find it at once moving and pleasurable.

I have done 13 #FullMoonArt projects- a whole lunar year! It has been rewarding to look back on all my work, and spiritually fulfilling, because it ensures that I'm taking the time to do art regularly.
I welcome others to use this hashtag with me, show me your art!

Here's the guidelines I gave myself for this project:

1. The art is started anytime after the New Moon, and completed within the 3 days of the Full Moon. It can be a large piece or a single-day project.
2. Post a photo and tag it with the hashtag (make sure to CamelCase).
3. Include alt text.
4. Credit the pattern-maker, if applicable, preferably with a link.

i don't think i've talked about this project yet? it's an altar cloth made with 36 woven squares made with continuous strand weaving and seamed together before lightly felting. it should be about a meter square when finished.

i'm planning on embroidering it afterwards, but that is another project. 😅

i'm sloooooooowly working my way thru my backlog of unfinished objects.

My first devotional project for Hekate! I chose this design after I was inspired by a very enchanting dream.
While I stitched, I memorized the Orphic Hymn to Hekate, and I completed it last night just in time for the New Moon so I could dedicate it. Here's to my very first Deipnon, and hopefully many more to come!

Original drawing is *not* mine, I just stitched a copy of it. Credit goes to Eliza Gauger, who has a beautiful book called "Problem Glyphs" with some really powerful occult-style sigil art. problemglyphs.tumblr.com

This Friday's art appreciation moment: The Archangel Gabriel by Kehinde Wiley, as seen at the Gardner Museum. I was amazed by this image, displayed alongside the gold images created by Simone Martini, from the late 1200s. #art #gold #devotionalart

From the midst of the current Pacific Northwest ice storm, which has converted the roads in and around Seattle into a skating rink:

I've been working on this lace altar piece for the past month as a dedication to Odin, and it's finished!

This style is called "filet crochet." I designed it myself, edged with a vintage lace pattern. It represents the rune staves falling from Yggdrasil, with the word "Allfather" in elder futhark below it. I listened to a bunch of different audio versions of the #Havamal while crocheting.
