Artisan

Thread, yarn, and other fibres spark my creativity!

My first fibre art love is tatting (handmade lace). I enjoy working with the vintage patterns and also design my own. I hope to incorporate my tatting with other fibre art creations.

Other fibre arts I enjoy are slow-stitching / embroidery, weaving, felting, knitting, crocheting, and am willing to learn others as well!

He would often steal away into the woods to carve beavers, and other woodland creatures that surrounded him.
