What People Are Saying About the Sacred Pouches"I ordered a medicine bag from Savitri Bess and would like to share my experience of her work. The warp is of strong natural linen, the hand sewn lining of textured natural silk, the workmanship very fine and done by an American elder, not an Asian sweatshop or gulag.
"The tapestry weaving is dense, of luscious yarns, the imagery deeply evocative. The medicine bag animal figures are numinous, whimsical and simply astonishingly beautiful. "I have never seen its like. Nor will you. Each is one of a kind, and a distillate of long life by a master weaver." --Owner of "Raccoon" "Owl is perfect! He arrived today! I must say the photos on the website do not do justice to the beauty and essence of the tapestries and medicine bags. It is beautiful, very rich. Thank you for having made owl. It did "instantly" call to me." ---Owner of "Owl" "Coyote arrived today. He is mighty beautiful. I held him close...him smelling so darn good and feeling so sumptuous. I really like him. He feels like a gift from Saraswati. I was just at a flea market and found a beautiful Saraswati for $5. Ushering in a creative spirit? And then here comes Coyote...representing that in a form that is filled with love and authenticity. What could be better? --Owner of "Coyote" Commissioning a Medicine BagCommissioned pieces are approximately 10 1/2 x 11 inches, with 3" linen fringe. They're woven on a linen warp, with 100% wool (mostly sheep, sometimes mixed with alpaca, llama, mohair), and lined in silk.
