This bag is beautiful with the flowers design. It is a very unique use of the Chamomile design.

This is a Maya design, a Turtle, who in their culture carries the world. It is a very unique design and sewed very well. I make these a little smaller and use a 60 weight thread. Looks very good on a dark color.
You can find this one here in the free with purchase group.

This Mayan glyph is called House of the forest spirit.
This was sewn in a lime green and look very nice on the bright pink shirt. You can find the design here in the fee with purchase group.
Mayan forest spirits were thought to be little people called Alux (ah-loosh) and farmers would make clay figures of one and put it under the largest tree on their land and bring food and gifts to insure a plentiful harvest.
Two -thirds of the Mayan forest has dangerous animals who roam the nights. There are much more stories about the Alux who have a long history of events and antics.
