It's Crow Time 
Burning love ………….. can feel the love all the way over the oceans………
(((Martine))) as Isabel Allende wrote in her latest book ‘In the Midst of Winter’ ;
“It’s not the force of gravity that keeps the universe in balance, but the binding power of love.”
Startling in its execution, and because it is rendered so beautifully, Bronwyn’s statement making pennant is a magnificent addition to the Gathering.To see the delicate exquisiteness of this shiny satin pennant juxtaposed with the singed edges, the fire-cut letters is to come to know that in order for Love to be the answer, we need to be fierce in our beliefs, while at the same time holding to that sensitivity that connects us all…
(((Marti))) thank you for putting into words the fierce love held in Bronwyn’s work
Marti .. your words are spot on .
How fabulous! And I love the ‘burnt out bits’ being used on the other side – so wonderful to be able to read it both ways – a real stunner! What a gathering…
(((Fiona))) I love the pared back elegance of gesture Bronwyn’s pennant shares with yours!
Such a wonder, these marks wrought with fire, letters threaded into gold-knotted truth
Inspired to know more, I journeyed to Bronwyn’s website and in her portfolio found a kindred work in the Burnt Gnomic Spiral … and so much else besides (Divided Moon especially spoke to me)
Thus it is I continue to be amazed … how each pennant brings a new voice to the Gathering
(((Liz))) Bronwyn is a master (or should I say mistress) of working with fire!
Oh…. It’s wonderful. And isn’t it amazing how that satin takes the light.
(((Beth))) it glows!
i’ll start on mine soon
(((Jude))) you are a treasure
What a great juxtaposition of opposites! The positive and negative bits and spaces, the calm shine of the cloth with the delicate burnt edges, the hemmed edge with the raw…I especially like the way it fits with and stands out from the group. Doesn’t the shape remind you of a scimitar blade? Definitely fierce, but literally open as well. A beautiful contribution, Bronwyn.
(((Dana))) a magical scimitar indeed! love how each pennant sings a new harmony into the song
Ahhhhhh Mo … love the contrast between the smoothness of the fabric and the
“roughness” of the burned edges !!!
Another beauty for you !
(((Els))) there is such magic in the exquisite edges and the spaces in between
Thanks for the great pics Mo, and to everyone who has contributed thoughts on the burned pennant, it’s wonderful to have your insights, thank you.
(((Bronwyn))) namaste
Another Amazing personal artistic journey of expression … Beautiful!
(((Tina))) Bronwyn is such an inspiration, her pennant is a shapeshifter holding the elements of air and fire with such deep love for our beautiful broken world.
Brilliant in execution, simplicity and power. The comment thread is too. WOW
(((Michelle))) it is!
How?!? & Wow! Simplicity bound, and glowing, with brilliance.
(((Hazel))) Bronwyn is well versed in the magic of fire and uses a very good quality pyrography tool
MC – wow – that is one piece of delicate work – controlling the burn was a real feat. Great connection between the content and the design implementation. You have a real stash of pennants now. Go well. B
(((Barry))) the collective energy of the gathering changes and grows as each pennant & talisman comes in, it’s going to be amazing seeing the dream come together at Artsite Gallery, the space is so big with high ceilings and great light!
Medium-defying. Shiny. Assertive and yet gentle. How you make satin look like sheet metal is a mystery to me!
(((Dee))) the transformative power of Art!
Burning Love, Dreaming of Love, Love as an Answer. Toss Love into a body of water and it ripples out in connection. Last week, (I finally remembered where I read this) the British newspaper The Guardian interviewed one of our country’s best writers, who also happens to be a theologian, Marilynne Robinson. When asked ” what simple thing she believed would make the world a better place” , she replied, “:Loving it more.” Like minds Mo, like minds…
(((Marti))) thank you, our planet needs the power of love more than ever!
Such beautiful work arriving at your door Mo. The comments above say everything there is to say . . . Bronwyn’s contribution is exquisite.
(((Wendy))) as the humanitarian aid worker Carl Wilkens wrote “When we make something with our hands, it changes the way we feel, which changes the way we think, which changes the way we act.”
fantastic gathering (of cloth)
(((Saskia))) the magic of loving hands
