Handicrafts for our hero's journey

Handicrafts foster a feeling of sisterhood among women. From quilting bees to craft blogs, I'm thrilled to be a part of the growing movement toward creative community. Heather Bailey

Every once in awhile I come across handicrafts and/or artwork in the blogosphere that make me so happy that I find myself returning again and again, encouraged to dare and to dream.

May I share three with you?

Ashley's Off I Go evokes the start of a hero's journey -- to become who we are, we must go where we haven't been.

Heather's studio symbolically reminds us that we need to create a physical space, if only a small corner of our world, devoted to daring and dreaming.

When I look at Jennifer's Little Boxes, I see a metaphor for systergy. Systergy is fully operative when we are willing to look for and grab on to our selves (as represented by the individual homes) AND to share our selves with one another (the patchwork quilt which binds the homes together).
