These fun weavings are made asking questions about a particular topic of a Magic 8 Ball. These can be questions formulated by you or they can be a collection of quotes that speak to the topic.
Each outcome of the Magic 8 Ball is attached to a unique yarn color. Depending on the weaving, either 10-20 questions are asked and then recorded in the weaving. Themes for these weavings have ranged from "Love" to "The Meaning of Life" to "He loves me, he loves me not" to even an exploration about "Snakes". Part of the fun is in the topic chosen to research.
Examples of quotes asked of the Magic 8 Ball have been:
- "A wise woman wishes to be no one's enemy; a wise woman refuses to be anyone's victim." (Maya Angelou)
- "Peace is liberty in tranquility." (Marcus Tullius Cicero)
- "Grandmothers are moms with lots of frosting." (Unknown)
- "Snakes? Why'd it have to be snakes?" (Indiana Jones and the Lost Ark)
Why a Magic 8 Ball? It not only generates a random pattern and color combination in a medium that has almost covered every imaginable pattern, but it also allows for an interesting exploration in what we know as humans. Taking quotes from various people, from different socioeconomic backgrounds, from different geographies and time periods and leaving these thoughts up to interpretation of a Magic 8 Ball is illuminating. We tend to feel when something feels like truth and when it doesn't, but it's just fun to shrug and say "Who really knows?".
Should you purchase a weaving, I will reach out directly after to work out the details of your exploration and can offer help in finding the quotes or work with you to collaborate. There are lots of options for background color with natural being the default.
