Butterflies and Flowers
This design is full of nature. At the center is the butterfly disk from Gaza, I imagine these as a group of butterflies flying in unison. These butterflies are surrounded by flowers. From small ones that I created to connect spaces, to large flowers from Hebron that reach towards the butterflies. The border of the piece is the Damascus Rose motif from Ramla. As I created this design, I felt as if I was sitting in a butterfly garden, just watching butterflies flutter from flower to flower.
As with all of my patterns, they can be used for whatever you'd like. If you are a crafter and not a witch, that's completely fine! You can stitch this without any spiritual meaning behind it, just an appreciation for both Western cross stitch and Palestinian Tatreez.
If you are a witch, this piece can be used for Green Witchcraft or any part of your practice that involves nature. This design can be used when you are seeking or facilitating transformation and joy. Butterflies are a wonderful symbol for transformation, joy, freedom, and in my opinion, beauty and glamor. Butterflies always felt like such glamorous creatures that have such an emphasis on beauty. Since the flowers around the edges are roses, you can also sprinkle in some love! All the other flowers don't correspond to any specific flowers as far as I know, so feel free to create your own connection there. Overall this design is filled with a light and joyful nature energy and is great for nature witchcraft. I made this piece as a small pillow, but it can also be used as a small altar cloth or part of a larger one. You could also just frame it and hang it to bring some nature vibes into your home.
As always, all I ask is that you make this piece with some knowledge and solidarity with Palestine. I don't believe that Tatreez is a closed practice, but it is one that demands intention. Every moon, star, tree, and flower motif, reflect an occupied land. Many of these motifs were created by Palestinians finding solace in nature, and envisioning a free land. Palestinian culture is also enduring erasure. I make these patterns to combat that erasure and to spread the knowledge and beauty of Palestine. In addition to this, $4 from every pattern sold will go to UNRWA, a UN organization that supports Palestinians under occupation and those that have become refugees. I hope to be able to donate more in the future, but in order to make this business sustainable, I need to start small.
All of the motifs used came from Tirazain, my favorite site that is combatting the erasure of Palestinian Tatreez. You can find more information at Tirazain.com
