Using One's Hands as a Way of Creating Connection

I was recently interviewed by Amy DuFault, Fashion Editor for EcoSalon, regarding the mental and creative benefits of using one's hands in crafting, fiber work, fashion, and even domestic tasks. You should definitely read Amy's 'Using Your Hands To Soothe The Brain'/part 1 if you are in need of a 'mental vitamin' and some genuine inspiration in the depths of winter.


It is quite flattering to be featured alongside Natalie Chanin of Alabama Chanin and Jill Danyelle of Danyelle.org. Stay tuned for part 2 of Amy's installment early next week on EcoSalon. I am now a regular fiber/fashion/textile contributor to EcoSalon as well.
