Following the Lotus Flower theme from yesterday, here is Coop’s Lotus Pentacle. This is one of our hidden pentacles, hidden within a more intricate flower design, it may be displayed when it is not safe or appropriate for a ‘standard’ pentacle. This stylized design can be recognized by other believers, but is less apparent to outsiders and is less likely to cause problems with non-pagan family or in the workplace. In yoga, the 5 petal Lotus is sometimes used in the symbol for Svadhisthana, the second or sacral chakra. #signsofspirit #signsofspiritart #inspiredwoodcarvings #signsofspiritwoodcarving #pentacle⁠ https://www.instagram.com/p/CD3qnsEnAIs/?igshid=1iwjrn4ahk9e2

Shading the Weave. Using my favorite shading tip, I create shadow on the “under” part of the band knot. #signsofspirit #signsofspiritart #signsofspiritpyrography #elementalpentacle (at Todd Mission, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-j5VlrHjLw/?igshid=12jxmtamenuii

Hmmm…Coop finished a custom order. I’m thinking this might be another good stock item! Feedback anyone? #signsofspirit #signsofspiritwoodcarving #signsofspiritart #inspiredwoodcarvings #itsnotmyproblem https://www.instagram.com/p/CVnwvKQrcIH/?utm_medium=tumblr

Last day of the most wonderful #marylandrenaissancefestival As on every show day this year, while Coop is meeting all manner of interesting people, Katrina isn’t quite ready to deal with the energy of the crowd and is hiding in the back, carving. Don’t know if these 2 guys will get displayed today but we’ll be filling custom orders for the next week before we start packing up! #signsofspirit #signsofspiritart #signsofspiritwoodcarving #gnomes #christmasgnomes (at Maryland Renaissance Festival) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVbWuBMr6ao/?utm_medium=tumblr

Katrina started these guys at the beginning of the plague. Kept going back and touching up the sanding,carved a bit more, sanded again, a couple of times before doing a hint of wood burning. Then they sat on my window over my desk when I started moving into the wonderful work shop Coop built for me. I fear I have become attached to them! I brought them with us, just in case, but kinda planning to keep them. The #marylandrenaissancefestival has been so incredible that we can’t keep up! But, that means my Gnome friends are about to get an eye screw in the hat and strung up for display…I feel so guilty… #signsofspirit #signsofspiritwoodcarving #signsofspiritart #inspiredwoodcarvings #gnome (at Maryland Renaissance Festival) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUS2mekLExL/?utm_medium=tumblr

Celebrating Romance Weekend at the (virtual) Maryland Renaissance Festival, Katrina found more pictures! Love Knots not listed! Fixed this one! The Celtic Wedding Knot. This Celtic Love Knot consists of two heart-shapes woven together with in one continuous line. The smaller heart nestled within the larger demonstrates the virtue of keeping your loved ones heart safe within yours. The continuous line in Celtic lore represents eternity, a lifetime, and lends the meaning of walking the pathways of life with your chosen partner, weaving in and out, through the challenging and easy events, strengthening and reinforcing each other. A true journey of love. #signsofspirit #signsofspiritart #inspiredwoodcarvings #signsofspiritwoodcarving⁠ (at Maryland Renaissance Festival) https://www.instagram.com/p/CExkM4fBoBU/?igshid=1xfx5wjgmjt30
