Irie Textiles

🐅 What if emotions became creatures?

Self Love Tiger is the first spirit from my new collection Textile Spirits.

I created this protector spirit during an emotionally difficult period of my life. Piece by piece, through stitching, symbols and reclaimed fabrics, emotions slowly transformed into strength, boundaries and intuition.

Inspired by Otorongo spirit from the medicine wheel — a guardian energy connected to instinct, protection and transformation.

Not all protectors are human.

🐅 Self Love Tiger 🐅

First spirit from my new collection Textile Spirits.

Self Love Tiger is about protecting your boundaries in order to truly love yourself.
While creating this spirit animal, I was channeling the spirit of Otorongo from the medicine wheel — a guardian spirit that transforms pain into strength, intuition and personal power.

The tiger carries a third eye symbolising awakening of intuition and inner vision, together with ancient protection symbols:
☀️ the solar cycle
🌳 Austra Tree — the tree of life
🐍 Žaltys — the sacred serpent spirit

During the creation of this textile spirit I was going through an emotionally difficult time. Piece by piece, fabrics, stitching and symbols helped me transform pain into confidence, softness and strength.

Made from reclaimed textiles and stitched memories.
