A few days late, but 2012 is complete!
My December rune stone represents the force of self-knowledge; if we are willing to evaluate and embrace both our strengths and faults, we can become forces in our own future and lives.
My found object is a small beveled mirror, salvaged from an Edwardian purse - it is quite flawed, only allowing a true reflection in bits and pieces. Our self-knowledge is usually equally flawed, distorted and glimpsed in tiny, isolated portions.
Bands of peyote stitch bind the mirror to the stone - just as we are bound by our flawed perceptions.
2012 is complete, but I don't think I'm finished exploring this concept; expect more rune stones in the future.
What a project for the year!! They all turned out so beautiful and your descriptions are so insightful. Great, great project. What will 2013 bring? Happy Beading
