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

Sunday

I've had this vessel on my work table for 4 months.  After finishing it today, I have become aware of a different type of journey. To understand this realization, you have to know something of how I make vessels.  You see, the strands wrap around the vessel kinda like a hug: the strands, like arms wrap around the mason jar meet up and wrap back. . .  Sometimes 3 or four Times!  I like to think of the crossing in the same way ones arms meet at the heart, making the hug have its meaning.  This vessel is different.
Instead of crossing, the strands bounce back where I have chosen to tie a line of square knots.  This makes a kinda reflection since the strands bounce back at the same angle they came in , rather like a reflection.  To my surprise, when I finished the vessel, all the strands meet up in the same way they do when they wrap around!  This all now makes sense to me, it is like a hug sent out: what you send out comes back all the same.
