Creative Pursuits with Text and Fibre

“For thought is a bird of space, that in a cage of words may indeed unfold its wings but cannot fly.” ~ Khalil Gibran

ABOUT

 

 

 

I am a creative fibre artist, dressmaker and self-taught graphic designer.  I sell my learning resources on my Etsy Store and blog my creative pursuits here. 

I have a lifelong love of meaningful words and poetry.  I am neurodiverse, and that discovery at the age of 50 made my whole life make sense. 

If you have come for my crochet patterns, you can find free versions on my blog or printable, paid PDF versions on my Etsy store.

 

 

 

ESTY STORE

My Etsy Store sells homeschool and study tools as printable PDF downloads.  I am a self-taught graphic designer and really enjoy the creative and logical process of creating resources.  I also have a small range of crochet patterns. 

You can also buy my crochet patterns on Ravelry.

 

CLOTH AND THREAD

I love to take a piece of fabric and construct something wearable and long-lasting, using slow sewing techniques. In every careful stitch, I remember the past generations who passed this craft on to me. I sew, embroider, crochet and occasionally wander off to discover a new interest involving working with fabric or yarn. Making is my meditation. I love the process, the more intricate and challenging the better.

 

WORDS

The quote from which this website gets its name is from the 1923 book of prose poetry fables called The Prophet by Lebanese-American poet, writer and artist

Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931). The passage is called “On Talking”.

Occasionally, I share words that resonate.
