FYI yarn bowls are not, as it might sound, bowls made of yarn. They are bowls meant to HOLD yarn while you’re knitting, with a spot for the end you’re working with to come out while being held in place so the ball doesn’t roll away. Like so:
The bowls in the post are just really fancy-ass yarn bowls.
Melbourne-based designer Britta Boeckmann found her calling as a jewelry craftsman after graduating in 2013 with a degree in industrial design. She joined the Wangaratta Woodworkers studio after moving away from Germany. Since then, Boeckmann has been keeping herself busy perfecting her technique in making her own style of ethnic Outback jewellery.
The color of the resin and the wood is inspired by indigenous Australian tones found in nature. No two pieces are alike in her jewellery series as each is made with attentive detail. From casting resin, shaping moulds, sanding each of the pieces until they are uniquely shaped, and then polishing it with a final varnish to give them a refined look – every step requires a gentle hand. You can find more of her work on her Etsy shop.
I get sad. There are other more clinical and specific names for how sad I get, but ultimately, I feel sad. Tarot is such an important part of my life that just like a best friend, I turn to it when I am sad.
This is the story of how I reach for tarot in my sadness. My hope is that it will illustrate the usefulness of tarot as a tool. Not just a tool, a friend.
I am offering Tarot for Sad People in my Etsy shop for $3. Despite the low price, I’m also giving it away for free. Right here.
I value the work I do – and writing something while sad is definitely work – and I want to make sure that everyone who might need this gets to see it. So please download this PDF. And if you’re able and feeling it, then you can buy it as well on Etsy, maybe even give it as a gift.
