Shield No. 1 Natural Fiber Art | Tapestry | Textile Wall Hanging | Modern Macrame
Shield No. 1 is the first of the Shield Tapestry Collection of fiber art by Nathalie Each piece in this collection is based on a familiar shield shape, exuding strength and softness. Nathalie's Sheild No. 1 draws from a deeply personal journey, rooted in a quest for resilience during challenging times. Each layer of this symbolic shield reflects profound biblical inspiration. At its core, the interior layer embodies the protective embrace of eagle's wings, echoing the comforting promise of Psalm 91:4: "He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge". The subsequent layer, adorned with intricate twists and loops, mirrors the transformative power depicted in 1 Peter 1:7—an image of radiant gold forged through life's refining fires and trials. This layer serves as a reminder of the enduring beauty that emerges when faith remains steadfast. The third layer, with its helix knots, is reminiscent of DNA. It symbolizes the divine craftsmanship detailed in Psalm 1
