| Handmade Products: |
| Natural Materials: |
| Our products are made by hand for several reasons. The thoughts and energies of the surroundings where something is made goes into that product. We like making things by hand and therefore good thoughts are put into our art & crafts. Also, handmade creations are never the same. There is always some individual identity of something that is created by someone rather than something. This brings character and specialness to handmade products. Each item is what we consider to be a work of art. Our expressions are in that product and when you receive one of them, you are receiving part of us. |
| We use as many natural materials in creating our arts & crafts as possible. As humans, we are children of nature and sometimes in this world of computers and concrete we forget that. Our goal is to help remind people of the relationship between the natural environment and ourselves. |
| Celtic Knotwork: |
| The Celtic knotwork we incorporate in many of our creations symbolizes the ever flowing forces of the universe. Like nature, the geometric matrices upon which the knots are based, are continuous and infinitely interchangeable. Thus the subtle link between us and the universe is evident in the balance of space and substance. On a personal level, we have always been intrigued by Celtic knotwork. We feel that it expresses our connections to the world around us in a universally symbolic way. |
| Our Mission: |
| Rainsong Creations: |
| In the past, we have set up our 10' diameter Yurt as a gift shop and studio at art shows and fairs. We sell dreamcatchers, blanket coats, journals,medicine pouches, jewelry, and other arts & crafts. The Bayfield region is rich in artistic talent and is well known as "The best small town in the Midwest". We love this region and contribute as much as possible to the sense of community here. Much of what we sell is inspired by the beautiful Apostle Islands and northern Wisconsin area itself. You are welcome to visit us the next time you are in Bayfield and are looking for locally made artwork. |
| The images of myth are reflections of the spiritual potentialities of every one of us. Through contemplating these, we evoke their powers in our lives. -Joseph Campbell |
| Foursongs is dedicated to selling handmade items such as organic cotton baby toys, blanket coats, dreamcatchers, journals, medicine pouches, and beaded jewelry, as well as teaching hands-on classes that inspire others to reconnect with the natural world. |
| To provide an opportunity for people of all ages, to feel a reconnection with their ancient heritage and explore a shared, as well as personal relationship with the natural world through art, stories, and hands-on experience. |
We use organic cotton because it offers many benefits to both the individual consumer
and the environment. The methods and materials used in organically growing this
age-old fiber have a much lower impact on our bodies and on the natural environment
than conventional growing and dying.
Conventional cotton is grown and processed with more synthetic pesticides, fertilizers,
dyes, and bleaches than any other fiber crop on earth. We do not believe that is
what ought to be in a baby's mouth. Toxic synthetic chemicals are not used in the
growing or dying methods of organic fibers.
As we evolve in taking better care of ourselves, we also take better care of the next
generations and the earth as well. We give opportunities for healthier lives by
reducing contamination of water, earth, wildlife, air, and our own bodies.
By choosing organic, you are not only looking out for you and your children's health,
but for the next generations and the future of our planet.
