Astro-knot canvases can be used as a portable guide in your astronomical gazing, framed as a canvas, or token in personal ritual space. Each panel features a beadwork weaving of a constellation; all graph designs are my own as referenced from astronomical maps  

Every painting features in-house made botanical inks that were brewed from locally harvested sumac berries + riverbank grapes so their vibrant tones reflect the landscapes in our community. 

Astro insights: •PEGASUS• The most common told stories of Pegasus relate to the Greek mythos of the mythical horse born from the slaying of gorgon Medusa. In Chinese astronomy, these stars are within the Black Tortoise of the North. This constellation is connected to the stars of Andromeda which echoes the themes in those Greek mythos. Some of its notable features include spiral galaxies such as NGC 7331 & the quasar known as Einstein’s Cross.
