Also called Harvest Home, Thanksgiving, or Autumn Equinox, Mabon is a ritual holiday of thanksgiving. Mabon is celebrated in the northern hemisphere same time as the Autumn Equinox and this year that is September 22. We are going to create beautiful bundles of dried herb for decoration in celebration of Mabon (Harvest home, Thanksgiving, Autumn Equinox). In this swap we will gather and bundle wheat, rye or oat, or long dried grasses. We will then add other dried ornamentation such as dried flowers, pods, willow twigs, pine cone, acorn, etc. Once gathered, secure in center with a bow of pretty ribbon We are making small decorative bundles...."stalk bundlings" if you will. Make it pretty.....maybe add some dried lavender or cinnamon sticks to give it a lovely sent......use a pretty ribbon for that bow. Create something you would want to receive. This swap is open to those in the #1 Swap Botters Club. I am sorry that this can not be an international swap because what we will be mailing But please feel free to host you own. We will have 1 partner We will send that one partner one bundle. Let's make the bundle no shorter than 4 inches and no longer than 12 inches. It would be nice to upload pictures onto the gallery (whether sending or receiving) so all can see your work. It’s always fun to see everyone else’s take on a given topic. Above all....Have fun! If you have any allergies, please let your partner know by either posting below or direct contact through the swap-bot. I will remove anyone who fails to maintain the club's membership rating come the signup deadline. |
