Five Wisdom Energies

I attended a workshop on the Five Wisdom Energies, also known as the Five Buddha Families.  During this workshop we took postures and wore colored glasses to experience each energy.  After the postures we could express ourselves in a way of our choosing.  I chose to color for most of them.  These are my drawings.  The page they link to also includes a short description of the way I experienced each energy.

There is nothing wrong with the 5th image.

My dad got his head shaved as part of a St. Baldrick's Day event - so I knit him up a hat. This is me showing off the hat before I mail it off to my dad. The hat is my own design (although quite basic) but I choose the softest yarn I have come across, so I hope it will be cozy.

Chrysanthemum

This is a Chrysanthemum.  So far, this has been the most time consuming flower I have knit, but it turned out quite nice, even if it looks a little like an alien that might eat your face :)

Knit peppers


The pattern was for carrots, but I see very little point in owning orange yarn. So, they get to be peppers instead!

Poinsettia


This is my completed knitted Poinsettia
