It was Imbolc a couple of weeks ago and it was a very frosty night with a full moon. Imbolc is a holiday with a variety of names, depending on which culture and location you’re looking at. In the Irish Gaelic, it’s called Oimelc, which translates to “ewe’s milk.” It’s a precursor to the end of winter when the ewes are nursing their newly born lambs. Spring and the planting season are right around the corner.
I was inspired to use more of the Aventurine as it reminded me of the night sky and to team it this time with 12mm bead cages and stardust beads. The bead cages are fiddly but I think they are worth the effort.
