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

4 Wendy


 dear Wendy,  here are your vessels!
I have included 13 (one extra) in the spirit of bakers dozen because one may want to get consumed right away or one may fall on the floor or one may not be to your liking. . .
Also, I have copied a few pages from the Quadrivium to give you a starting place in conveying the number symbolism in each vessel:  some are made with nine strands, some with eleven, and so on, so you can see the corresponding page as a starting point to see what I am trying to convey. I know there are a lot of pages in my blog, so you can use this intro as a distilled version.
Since your vessels will be used as votives,  I like to think of each as a constellation.  each strand represents on aspect of a greater theme, yet seen from afar it blends into one continuous whole.  The north star (polaris) is actually made of seven individual stars and I love to imagine which seven elements all resolve into a whole that begets Northness,  without shining on its own. Similarly, the flame of an individual vessel ties together the symbolic aspect of each strand, color, and signature.
