The trustworthy constancy of the change of life is comforting to me, albeit at times a wild ride.<br />
Which is what I am addressing with this post, a shift away from adding to this blog - and a headlong plunge into the wild ride of creative immersion. I will be spending my time in the studio, and ever seeking those places and things that inspire to create.<br />
Curried Myrrh is all about inspiration from the crazy wonderful beauty of the tribes of our world, and finding our way to link hands, offer hope, and actualize assistance...please join us by following us on Instagram, and check out our store (select 'shop') that features new and one-of-a-kind pieces all the time.<br />

The sun is low enough to offer a gilded and rich light pretty much at any time of the day, the air sweet and chilled to pink up your cheeks.<br />
And the last couple of years have brought us the distinct pleasure of an affair both captivating to watch and to be involved with - the Dragonboat Races.<br />
I, for one, am a fan of most anything that has an ethnic flavor. The Dragonboat is a celebration of the 'tribe', both of cultures far away and long ago, and within our workplaces and our friendships. The relationships that tie us together with bonds stronger than bloodlines at times: our friends - our 'people'.....folks; that would be your tribe.<br />
I feel a connection with the tribes of the globe, the elements that defined the tribe - their ancestry, their practices, their ritual and their art. And that's what captures my imagination: the art of the headdress....that personal object of definition - that expression of who they are and the manifested desire to make beauty and be beauty. We were all created for a kingdom greater than what is at hand, and headdresses seem to reveal the dream in all peoples, tribes, tongues and nations that we are seeking a glory greater than ourselves.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The Curried Myrrh fall collection once ago echoes the richness of the Berber culture, and also introduces a piece in honor of 'my family tribe'....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just like the Berber people need protection from the elements, so do we. Particularly in Montana where the cold leaks down the mountains in early September...</div>

<i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Brides. </span></i></div>
<br />
All around the world, from the beginning of time, women seek to adorn themselves for that glorious day. And besides the gown, what one wears on the head seems always to be of the utmost importance and speaks volumes of the woman - of her way and her grace.<br />
<br />
Whether it be an elaborate tiara and veil, and tender circlet of beads, or an intricately woven headpiece...a headpiece is not only a definition of personality, but also an expression of the wistful dreamings often personified and manifested on the bride at her wedding.<br />
<br />
I love making bridal pieces. Unique and quirky, elegant and dreamy - 'a crown of glory'....<br />
<br />
Whether your wedding is in the spring, summer, fall or winter, there are wonderfully creative ways to adorn your head, and the heads of your flower girls, bridesmaids, and..?<br />
<br />
I love using elements from the brides' history-heirlooms kept for that special purpose-and then repurposed into something contemporary and fresh. Fabric, jewels, chains, beads, pendants....pieces collected, received, traded for, found in travels - bits and moments pieced together in a beautiful headpiece to accent your gown and speak of your heart.<br />
<br />
Let me know how I can design and create something for your special day...<br />

I was introduced to Rahab's Rope a few months ago, when a new model I began working with was telling me about an upcoming trip to India. She was going to volunteer and spend time with these women and this organization. I felt like an opportunity that clearly exemplified the vision of <i>Curried Myrrh,</i> had dropped into my lap. I contacted them, and shared my heart and some ideas about integrating the women into some handwork for Curried Myrrh. Vicki, the woman who began Rahab's Rope; was warm and enthusiastic and on the same page when it came to producing beautiful, skillful, high quality pieces in representing indigenous cultural handwork, that could provide healing, sustainable income, and community respect.<br />
I hosted a couple of 'home shows' in tribute to and in support of Rahab's Rope-to build awareness and raise some more money that could go to buying tools/supplies for them. We were able to send them over $250, and are dreaming of embroidery sewing machines, and beadwork projects...<br />

Vicki left for India right after Christmas, I sent some patterns and some new season colors with her. We're getting started on this thing, and I am so excited. I hope to go visit India, with my daughter. I can see us sitting on the floor and beading. That would be awesome.Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15025060001588767674noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2072709640575562227.post-60106133737491700902011-08-01T21:06:00.000-07:002011-08-23T20:47:50.704-07:00The Work of the HandsI was born into a home that was busy with the happy toil of hand work. My mom was always making something. Drapes, a dress for her mom, or sister; Halloween costumes (elaborate), clothes for us kids. And when she needed a break, she would garden. A great, huge, hillside transformed rock by rock, tier by tier into a profuse symphony of rhododendrons, moon lilies, ageratum, ajuga, silver mound...and that was while she was pregnant with me. Ha! No wonder I am so motivated to <i>make things. "</i>Making things and selling them" was my first brainstorm as a kid of what I would do with my life. I started out making what I called "Islands". It was a piece of driftwood, or a lake stone, embellished with a miniature"landscape"- a bush (a tuft of lichen), a tiny deer or bunny, white glitter for snow. I sold them at the flea market and made enough to buy all my school clothes (I got to choose). Then it was macrame`, earrings, sand candles, wood burned plaques.Man, the 70's were fabulous for crafts. Point being, hand work is in our blood. Some are closer to it, but frankly; it is an element of lifes maintenance not only necessary, but honestly - therapeutic. The stitching, the weaving, the beading, the keeping of the hands moving....works out the kinks and the struggles, stresses of the rest of living life. Perhaps that's why our culture has become so pressed and ill--not enough hand work.<br />
<div>So there it is. And, here it is: Curried Myrrh's first order from Free People (beautiful catalog). I am blessed, and very thankful. I bet they would have loved my macrame`....</div><div><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The stuff of dreams, the kind that are realized. It is this 'stuff' that I address on my first post for Curried Myrrh.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That is my mother, making straw hats in Denmark in the 40's. Because 'Far' (her father) believed it a good idea, and an opportunity. They had moved from Copenhagen to a 100 yr old farmhouse in the country, and needed to make a living. Far designed the frame that Alice (my mother) built the brim of the cap on. They went to harvest the straw at a neighbors farm, my mama said; 'with socks over their shoes for boots'. Yes, <i>my</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">mother said that. How amazing to be linked with this heritage in this day, I think. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A heritage, a bloodline, a heartsong, destiny.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know that the visions written upon our hearts lie deeper even all of the perceptions than we have within us.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They are divinely breathed, and birthed when ready.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I couldn't imagine beginning this blog in any other way than proudly showing my history. How ingenious, and clever, and brave. This is my tribe</span>.<br />
