Weaving Drawings. ๐งถ Writing Pictures. โ๏ธ Spinning Yarns. A Bear named Bertie. ๐ป And a glimpse into Genevieve's world of mice and making. ๐ญ๐
With stories traipsing through my head, they inevitably make their way into books I illustrate and tapestries I weave. Like two plies of a single golden thread, drawing and tapestry lead me onward, bringing joy, solace and healing. ๐
Stories, drawings, and whateverโs happening my author-illustrator life โ from childrenโs book maker Claire Powell.
I write once a month to all subscribers about things I'm making, people and things that inspire me, and classes I'm teaching; freeform prompts and ideas are sent on most Wednesdays to paid subscribers in my Freeform Yarny Things Study Group.
We celebrate making by hand, creativity, lifelong learning and supporting each other. Together we fight against harmful crafting myths, fast fashion, productivity-is-everything, corporate greed, unsustainability, ageism and mindless distraction. Join us!
