These Vessels came from my desire to create a cover for a mason jars that protects the jars from breaking or clanging together while sailing on my boat.

As I discovered the different geometries in the patterns of the weavings, I became interested in the intention of use of the vessels based on the meanings in Sacred Geometry

Together with the rich history of knot tying in sailing and the mysticism inherent in sailing lore through the practice of sailing the globe and navigating by the stars, these vessels will carry you on your travels.

Mason Jars are practical, recyclable, and re-useable and can provide an alternative to paper, plastic and styrofoam cups.

Mason Jars and the Masonic traditions from which their name is shared, honor the wisdom of Sacred Geometry as the building block for meaning in architecture and design

The first vessel

I am not posting this January 22 2010, but since you have come all the way back here on my Blog, I thought I would give you the history of how this all started.  As I've said before, I first made these Vessels to keep Mason Jars from breaking whilst sailing on my boat Bullitt.  The real story was that I was in Mammoth Lakes snowboarding, with a lot of time on my hands, and, remembering the experience of having my only Mason jar aboard break,  I conjured up this Vessel:

My first thought was it looked a lot like chain-link

Now, three years later, I am still making them because the inspiration to make these designs is still present.  I attribute this, mostly, to the unending satisfaction of delving with sacred geometry, and the satisfaction of using my skills to make something practical, unique, and by my own hands.
