Spirit Pouch
I spent the afternoon playing around in the studio making a couple of spirit pouches. I make these with watercolor paper, acrylic paint and ink.
When I have finished painting I place feathers, white sage, natural fibers, crystals, etc… into the pouch area. I then add turquoise beads and other natural gemstones to finish the piece.
Below is my personal Spirit Pouch which hangs in my studio.
Spirit Pouch – Mixed Media – 5 x 8 inches.
Hang the Spirit Pouch on your wall somewhere in your house where you can see it as a reminder of your connection to spirit.
