Three Blessings and A Warning II — off the loom and blocked! In Judaism, a hamsa — or hand — pointing down can indicate. blessings flowing from above. Pointing up is a stop sign, a warning, a protection. In almost any culture, red is rage, danger, fear, passion, life-blood. I first wove a similar one at the beginning of the pandemic. It sold. But I wasn’t happy with it. This one is similar, larger, with more consistent shaping and better weaving (three years hence.) It seems like a good way to wind down the covid series.
