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

But why say more? All men live enveloped in whale-lines. All are born with halters round their necks; but it is only when caught in the swift, sudden turn of death, that mortals realize the silent, subtle, everpresent perils of life. And if you be a philosopher, though seated in the whale-boat, you would not at heart feel one whit more of terror, than though seated before your evening fire with a poker, and not a harpoon, by your side. 1851

I am aware that I am smitten with these chapters of moby dick,  there is no more accurate an allegory of our current state of affairs, in 2014, then the plight of the whale men.  For, like the oil we cherish, the spermicetti fertilized the birth of a culture which seeks to harness nature and value oil for only how brightly it burns. . .
And like my vessels, which are wraped in line made of that stuff (nylon from oil). Ahab, becomes wraped onto the vessel of the whale. . .( this occurs in future chapters, but I assure you, this is our collective plight)
