This is the 15th year of continuous daily publication for 365Caws. All things considered, it's likely it will be the last year as it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to find interesting material. However, I hope that I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world with my natural history posts, or encouraged a novice weaver or needleworker. If so, I've done what I set out to do.

A Lot Of Brass
Day 119: When my mother passed away, I added her Bells of Sarna to my own small selection. As you can see, the designs of each are unique (at least I hope I didn't put any duplicates in the display). Each one has a specific purpose. My mom could have told you the meanings and/or ceremonies associated with each of these, but unfortunately never wrote them down. The collection is normally suspended by decorative cords at the sides of two different doorways where in passing, I will bump into them unless I make a specific point to avoid them. I love hearing them ring.
