Description
Find Your Creative Self in the Kaleidoscope of Beads & Color"Beading and my spiritual path are intricately interwoven.
It would be difficult for me to separate the two because they are so completely intertwined with one another.
As I sit and weave with my beads, I allow the Creative Spirit to flow through me, and though my hands are doing the work, another force is actively participating in the process.
This force is a transmission of Spirit that fills me with deep inner peace and joy as I bead.
As a result, the practice of my art form has become a creative path to my sacred center."—from the IntroductionBelieving that beading is a form of meditation through which we can access the Creative Spirit that is always present in us, master bead artist Rev.
Wendy Ellsworth offers multiple ways to explore beading as a spiritual journey of self-discovery.
Each of the seven chapters is rich with personal stories, exercises, and beading projects, and each project has a meditative experience to encourage a contemplative spirit and creative play.
