Let go of your pretensions—squeeze, shape, knead & play your way to spiritual growth. "I am being formed by the clay. I am reconnecting with the earth, and with the other basic elements, too—air, water, fire—and life itself. Every gesture leaves its trail in the clay. Every fingerprint, a message. My breath fills the cavity. My touch curves the wall of a bowl. And inwardly, I am being formed by the outward practice. I am learning to trust the process, to lean into the possibilities rather than striving for some predetermined goal. I am being hollowed out, stretched and constricted, trimmed and sometimes reworked entirely."—from the PrologueDrawing from her first-hand experience of working with clay, Marjory Zoet Bankson takes you through the seven-step process of making clay into a pot, drawing parallels at each stage to the process of spiritual growth:Grounding—Connecting with our core elementsKneading—Awakening to the inner realm Centering—Gathering everything togetherShaping—Focusing inner and outer pressures Finishing—Trimming away the excessDecorating—Adding a playful touch Firing—Committing to transformationThis simple connection with the earth has the potential to put you in touch with the whole of creation and, at the same time, your soul's longing to participate as an artist, creating something new and unique.Through reflective questions in each chapter—along with a wealth of unique clay projects that even beginners can do—Bankson invites you on a journey of spiritual discovery, a path of reconnecting with your body and spirit, and with the earth itself.

Find Your Creative Self in the Kaleidoscope of Beads & Color"Beading and my spiritual path are intricately interwoven. It would be difficult for me to separate the two because they are so completely intertwined with one another. As I sit and weave with my beads, I allow the Creative Spirit to flow through me, and though my hands are doing the work, another force is actively participating in the process. This force is a transmission of Spirit that fills me with deep inner peace and joy as I bead. As a result, the practice of my art form has become a creative path to my sacred center."—from the IntroductionBelieving that beading is a form of meditation through which we can access the Creative Spirit that is always present in us, master bead artist Rev. Wendy Ellsworth offers multiple ways to explore beading as a spiritual journey of self-discovery. Each of the seven chapters is rich with personal stories, exercises, and beading projects, and each project has a meditative experience to encourage a contemplative spirit and creative play. The project results are beautiful, meaningful symbols designed by a master bead artist for both novice and experienced beaders alike.Original projects include:• Geometric Mandala• Personal Mandala• Personal Prayer Beads• Beaded Prayer Pouch• Goddess Archetype Necklace• Beaded Stick Figure Goddess• Chakra Necklace• Chakra Flower Sculpture• Free-form Gourd Stitch Bracelet• Ruffled Cabochon Brooch• Dutch Spiral Necklace• Spiral Vessel• Song Beads• Herringbone Stitch Cuff with Freshwater PearlsAcknowledgments viiIntroduction 11 Find Your CenterFor Equilibrium and Balance 7Exercise: Creating a Comfortable Space 17Project 1: Geometric Mandala 19Meditation: Asking for Personal Symbols 26Project 2: Personal Mandala 282 Knock on Spirit's DoorUsing Beads to Pray 35Exercise: Blessing the Materials 47Meditation: Accessing Your Right-Brain Creative Spirit 49Project 3: Personal Prayer Beads 52Project 4: Beaded Prayer Pouch 553 Stir the PotIn Search of the Authentic Self 63Exercise: Focusing—The Sacred Triangle 76Beginning Meditation 78Project 5: Goddess Archetype Necklace 80Project 6: Beaded Stick Figure Goddess 86Ending Meditation 904 Spin the Wheels of LifeFor Integration and Wholeness 93Exercise: Visualizing the Vertical Currents of Core Energy 105Project 7: Chakra Necklace 108Meditation: Bringing In the Light 113Project 8: Chakra Flower Sculpture 1175 Shake Up Your PalettePlaying with Light and Color 123Exercise: Shake Up Your Palette 138Project 9: Free-form Gourd Stitch Bracelet 141Meditation: Color 147Project 10: Ruffled Cabochon Brooch 1496 Dance with the RhythmTen Tools of Creative Expression 157Exercise: Drawing Spirals 174Project 11: Dutch Spiral Necklace 176Meditation: Spirals 180Project 12: Spiral Vessel 1827 Bead Your BlissSing Your Song 189Exercise: Discovering Your Song 202Project 13: Song Beads 204Meditation: Beauty 208Project 14: Herringbone Stitch Cuff withFreshwater Pearls 210Inspiration for the Future: Creating a Bead Challenge 217Resources 219Bibliography 221Project Index 225

More than 20 inspired quilting and sewing patternsAs a generation of mostly self-taught, creative women takes to the world of fabric, quilting and sewing are joining forces in a way that they never have before. Long-time quilters, committed to their craft for decades, are starting to experiment with a bit of home sewing or simple sewing for their grandchildren. The younger side of the sewing community is embracing the world of patchwork and quilting, a world that once seemed inaccessible or even undesirable to younger seamstresses. With Fabric & Thread seamlessly bridges the language and intimidation gap between these two crafts and delivers a unique collection of projects that appeal to sewers and quilters alike.Featuring 20 new projects, With Fabric & Thread marries the nomenclature of both sewing and quilting to create an effortless set of instructions that anyone can follow. Plus, a special section features six patterns that can be accomplished two different ways: one using sewing techniques and one using quilting techniques. The result is two unique looks from a single pattern.• Provides an excellent stepping-off point for sewers learning to quilt, and quilters learning to sew• Chic projects, well-styled photos, and modern illustrations speak to this increasingly unified audience• Good, basic, understandable instructionsIf you're a quilter experimenting with sewing, or vice versa, the beautiful designs in With Fabric & Thread give you everything you need to bring these two crafts together to make unique and inspired projects.
