The following patterns are totem designs, inspired by the writings of Ted Andrews in his book, Animal-Speak. He says, "A totem is any natural object, being, or animal to whose phenomena and energy we feel closely associated with during our life... The characteristics and activities of these totems will reveal much about our own innate powers and abilities."
I hope you enjoy them!
