If I were an animal, what animal would I be? This was the prompt for our creative summer camp. I have settled on a North American river otter. This spirit animal or totem symbolizes feminine healing, wisdom, receptivity, creativity, curiosity, playfulness as well as fearlessness and joy. One website mentioned playing with rocks and enjoying water slides! Otters are near-sighted and have short limbs. I qualify on those 2 characteristics.
I have always collected rocks and some of my art quilts feature rocks that are appliqued on the surface, or embellished with hand embroidery for moss or handmade “rocks” made of air-dried clay.
I’m always taking photos of rocks.
