I love this! Making something that's aligned with your values is worthwhile work.

It sure is! I've always felt a certain tension when I've made things that don't quite fit with my values. I'm still not sure I'm there with the perfect alignment but always working on getting closer :)

I loved this article Esta. Having a connection with nature is so important. It slows us down and gives our minds time to rest. While I was walking in the bush in Taupo recently I wanted to take time to collect leaves, twigs and lichen which was a little difficult given our walking companions just wanted to walk! When you stop you see so much more. I managed to collect a few bits and pieces in the hope that I can see what I can create. I loved your leaf art and the idea of incorporating natural elements with thread is exciting.

Yes! You notice so much more when you stop and look around. I can't wait to see what you create with your found bits!
