For quite a long time I wanted to create
a new embroidery design that would symbolize love and to hang it in our bedroom. Valentine's Day seems like a great opportunity to create
something like that.
I entered my studio and started working. I drew
a Mandalla - a sacred circle that ebmeds a prayer in. The circle
symbolizes the Wholeness, the Infinity and the Cycle of creation
The love tree
In the middle of the circle grows a tree, with a shape of heart,
which produces fruit of love. The heart is the center of our body and it symbolizes the soul and the
emotion
The heart balances between giving and receiving. The right hand
symbolizes giving and the left hand symbolizes receiving.
The heart serves as a bridge between inside and outside. Between our
earthly life and our spiritual life and contains pure unconditional love, which
is the healing energy.
The love tree is located in the center and around it the four elements
of life - earth, air, water, and fire.
The tree connects the four elements and represents the human being, the
creation.
The tree is full of flowers, leaves and fruits that symbolizing
fertility and beauty.
Earth represents the basis of our physical body, rootedness and
tribalism.
Two deers are leaning on the tree. The deer is a royal animal that represents the truth.

All animals are arranged in pairs in order to symbolize relationship.
The tree roots penetrate deeper into the earth, looking for water.
The water is full of life and fish.

The air is expressed by birds and butterflies which symbolizes the
spiritual world, the freedom and intimacy
The fire is actually the sun which provides light and energy for all the living on Earth.

Especially for Valentine's Day I would like to introduce you two
romantics vintage embroideries from my collection...

Your interpretation for the tree of life is very interesting.
ReplyDeleteThis motive is very ancient: It goes back to early Christianity, and it appears even in musaics of ancient Muslim palaces...I love the embroidery hanging on the wall with the chair.
Talented girl!
