I am the dauther
of Earth and Water,
and nursling of the Sky;
I pass through the pores
of the thresholds and shores;
I change, but I shall not die.

the heart compas is an excellent idea.
ReplyDeleteThis is... amazing. One of the most beautiful things I have seen in its simplicity and elegance. Wow!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautifully designed items! I especially love the stones on the painted wooden panels for fire, water, and the tree. If I ever have a job that requires me to travel, I would definitely love to make something like this for myself.
ReplyDeleteThis is really beautiful and truly amazing. I love the heart compass, the 3 holders and box itself is just lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this. I've been wanting to create a similar portable altar for myself for a while, but I was never sure what I would include in it. I now have a few ideas, although I'd be happy if mine was only half as nice as yours.
ReplyDeleteI have also left you an award over at my blog (http://treeshaveears.blogspot.com/2010/08/blog-with-substance.html), which you can accept or ignore as you please.
