always more yarn :D I would LOVE to do this, but I'm pretty sure my boyfriend would not be happy about it XD and I don't even live with him yet lol

So, I just read through that entire archive and linked several comics to my boyfriend, in an effort to prepare him for what living with me will be like.

[QUOTE=SkySamuelle;55269]I love devotional crafts!


Recently I made my first Spirit Bottle or Lwa Boutey for one of the Lwas I serve, LaSirene. For those who don't know, in Vodou, a spirit bottle is a bottle that is dressed with symbols, fabrics and colors of a given Lwa and then it is offered to the Lwa as his/her home to inhabit.It works as both an altar piece and as an altar in itself.
It took me weeks of preparation, and it was a pain to paint it with seagreen nailpolish but I love how it turned out !
You can see it here if you want:

I was skeptical when you said nail polish but that is gorgeous!

So, it seems that I've been asked to make a quilt in honor of one of my gods. situation--as in, big enough to go on my bed--is going to be a huge project, but oh well.

I mentioned the quilt in chat the other day, and a couple of people mentioned devotional projects they'd done, but I'm interested to hear more, because this is turning out to be a very enlightening experience.

My altar wants a quilt. I can't decide what pattern to use. My altar is going to run out of patience very soon, so suggestions are welcome. I will be using a 24 in by 24 in pattern most likely. I want the elements and some runes and the zodiac and basically too much stuff on it! I have a lot of fabric, but I have trouble cutting it. It's so pretty. I'm kind of a hoarder when it comes to craft supplies. I need someone to tell me to finish it already!
