the alchemy of fiber

Hembroidbutterfly

the alchemy of fiber

start with a plant
or an animal
cotton or wool

add a vision
a need
or whimsy

stir with needles
and maybe thread

each gives a part of itself
to become something new

perhaps not iron
into gold

but to do all of this
in one's red flannel pajamas
seems nothing short of
magic

Magic indeed, especially for one who is needlework deficient, such as myself, red flannel pajamas or no :)
