This book contains the poem, Still: Books, that inspired my process zine, Some Thoughts About Writing A Poem For A Journal. The zine details my creative process for writing this particular poem.

After the success of my first notebook with an eco-dyed cover I just had to make some more. Being me, I got rather carried away and used a whole pad of A3 watercolour paper to make eight A6 sized notebooks. I feel like I'll be making more of these in... Read more →

I was trying to make an eco-dyed silk scarf in blue / grey tones to go with my blue leather journal, blue eco-dyed scarf and knitted blue / grey fingerless gloves. I've got a thing for matching my stationery to my accessories at the moment. I gathered some leaves from... Read more →

After being gripped by an eco-dyeing fervour for the last couple of years I found myself taking an unintentional and unplanned break from foraging and dyeing (you may have noticed I've been posting a lot more poems than craft lately). It seemed I had run out of things and reasons... Read more →

I recently dusted off my eco-dyeing pots after a long winter break. I was starting to wonder if my eco-dye phase had come to an end. It turns out I was still into eco-dyeing, the desire had just been hibernating during the cold months. I stopped dyeing over winter because... Read more →

This poem is a collaboration. I recorded the words said by my fellow campers during one of the games we played at the Spring Wild by Nature Village Camp run by Firekeepers last week. The next camp is in January next year. See you there. I sat in the light... Read more →
