When we grieve, most of us reach for the steady hand of loved  ones. But even if we're blessed with an understanding community, a deep  sense of isolation comes with tragedy. No one else stands in our shoes.  Rarely is there another person who can understand just what it means to  be you. \u003cbr\u003e     \u003cbr\u003eFor maker and artist Maya Donenfeld, when faced with  the trauma of a sudden and unexpected ending to her marriage of sixteen  years, she yearned to find something that would allow her to focus and  channel her powerful flood of emotions into something she could see and  touch. Knowing that busy hands can profoundly nurture the heart and  quiet the mind, she began making things to wear, carry, touch, and gaze  upon—beautiful and expressive objects that were simple, intentional,  and most of all, meaningful. The result is the collection of projects  here. This book offers a unique approach to mending wounds with  inspiring projects that integrate hand, heart, and mind with thread,  ink, and more. The projects encourage renewal and restoration during  life's transitions and after deep loss. Each one offers comfort and  support and is designed to have a personal impact on the maker and those  around them. It's a resource for personal healing and a gift for your  friend in need.Projects:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWOUNDED\u003cbr\u003eJournal \/ Alter \/ Lights for the End of the Tunnel \/ Breathe Cuff \/ Rest Easy Spray \/ Nourish: Rooted Stew\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSYNCHRONICITY\u003cbr\u003eMandala Mirror \/ Nest and Egg \/ Dream Mobile \/ Wise Cap \/ Blank Canvas \/ Nourish: Spicy Sister Stew\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHEALING\u003cbr\u003eBolster \/ Nautical Necklace \/ Permission Ships \/ Renewal Cards \/ Sheltered Shawl \/ Nourish: Sailing Smoothie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eREINVENTION\u003cbr\u003eScarflette \/ Growing Hope \/ Survival Satchel \/ Power Poncho \/ Feathered \/ Nourish: Sunshine Smoothie\"What a delight of a book, a gorgeous invitation to use the power of creating to heal.
