All over the world we find people using charms or decorations at the
entrance of their homes to ward off the evil eye … In India too we find
common sights of lemon and chillies hanging from the door … or masks of
frightening demons … however these are mostly found in Hindu homes …
I was inspired by this … but being a Christian I had to think of another way of having something at the entrance to ward off the evil eye … and voilà … I got the perfect idea …
I found this comforting Biblical verse written on a wooden bird … the verse reads: Teach me thy way O Lord and lead me (Psalm 27:11) …
I learnt to make a hanging planter from the following link: http://www.tattooedmartha.com/2013/05/14/hanging-mason-jar-planters/…
After making the planter I placed the bird with the verse right on top to protect my home … the painting in the background is of a village scene painted on a broken piece of discarded marble slab …
I used our desi pickle bottles, thick coir rope, and money plants … To cover the ropes I hung some colourful clay bells … and our home was ready to ward off the evil and welcome people …
