Show buzzing bit ing about with bee hive 0 As january is the month when we choose our symbols we have bave spent a kusy busy two weeks studying ng about symbols we have already chosen our swarm symbol and are now trying to choose our own individual in symbols each one of us must choose some fine characteristic act which we wish to dep ap into our own lives then 1 tase some thing that will represent that virtue after we have chosen this we must make a collection of all the information we can get about them including stories poems songs pictures picture sete etc As we want our symbols to be useful to us we must find artistic ways of applying them to do this we make conventionalized designs of them we study designs and the pictures we have collected to see what shape square oblong circle oval or triangle would fit it best we must do a lot of experimenting before we find just the design we like best for our symbols it is an interesting experiment to cut one of these shapes from colored 7 er r and then sketch the symbol plit zit then cut it out after trying different arrangements until we find a successful design we mount them on another piece of colored paper As soon as we have satisfactory paper designs we can begin to work in felt silk embroidery copper etc we want to make our symbols on felt so we can sew them on our bands the next place we will want to apply them is in our honey combs by margaret redd A builder in the hive |
