Another heading in the photo scavenger hunt is “grain.” I had actually seen these figures last year and I remember taking a picture of one of them, then.  Well, here were three in a grouping, today!!<\/p>\n

The carvings suggest, I think anyway, that the figures were actually in the wood all the time and the artist through his\/her talents released them.  It’s a little like the Druids believing that wood is sacred and houses the spirits of the gods.  <\/p>\n

I think that this happens a lot with yarn, as well. I have often heard knitters say, “What can I make with this skein or that hank.” They squeeze and fondle the yarn hoping to release its muse or the Dryad that was spun into it.<\/p>\n

\nPerhaps this was the process Ashley Knowlton used when she designed Butterfly Forest – yarn and forest meeting in the creative process!!<\/p>\n

Here is another favourite piece of wood that I pass on one of my ravine walks. I like to think that this could be the stump that Alice peered into when she was chasing the white rabbit.  Wood is enchanted and yarn is enchanting – we just have to release their magic.<\/p>\n

\nHave an inspired day!!<\/p>\n
