This beauty is the lead image for my article in this month’s issue of tinyStudio Creative Life Magazine called “Back to Nature: Using Nature as a Fibery Backdrop”. This was taken on our gorgeous dilapidated fence that Nature has taken over with wonderful patches of moss and lichens. . The shawl is Nature's Lace by Susan Ashcroft that I made back in the Fall of 2014 out of handspun I spun across 7 Jenkins spindles and 3 wheels. Fiber was spun out of pigtails from @greenwoodfiberworks #fiberygoodness #tinystudio #tinystudiocreativelifemagazine #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #jenkinsturkishspindle #majacraft #majacraftaura #weepeggy #holidaywheel #spinonallthethings #natureslace #susanashcroft #greenwoodfiberworks

I knew exactly what I wanted to write about for Issue 5 of tinyStudio Creative Life Magazine when @woolwench told me the theme was going to be Nature. Ever since I was little I have always had a strong admiration for nature. Nature photography is my favorite area of photography and any opportunity I get to take photos out in nature makes my heart sing. My article "Back to Nature: Using Nature as a Fibery Backdrop" talks about and shows my love for combining my fiber arts photography with nature. . . I am especially proud of the intro photograph which I shot on our fence! It's an old fence and for some folks, they would say it's seen better days and maybe wish to remove it/replace it with a new fence but to me, it's in its prime of beauty. All the moss and lichen growing on it makes it so beautiful. I look forward to using this beautiful fence for many more years to come to stage beautiful photographs like this. . .

Well, I was really hoping to have this project done by Christmas so I could start on my Advent projects but it's simply not going to happen. It appears that all the excessive working with my hands with little downtime has resulted in my left hand telling me it's had enough. . . Luckily I can at least listen to myself now and will give myself a proper break. I was taking it easy on the spinning but even just a little bit each day has triggered pain in my index finger knuckle joint and my wrist. It's situations like this that are the reason why I don't do intensive projects without proper breaks, I spread projects out without giving myself unrealistic deadlines to ensure I don't overdo it to prevent situations where I can't do anything. Hopefully, with lack of hand activities and rest, I'll be able to get back to working with my hands again without pain. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #jenkinsturkishspindle #twfnov19 #Big18JenkinsSpin #threewatersfarm
