SABLE Editorial
Editor's Yarn Percolating in the back of my head for quite some time, was the idea that I could start a magazine for the fibre arts. I am a collector of all kinds of things. I have a drawer full of beads. I have fabric stashed in every corner of my house, and while I am a novice at weaving, I have started collecting spools of fibre that appeal to me, for future weaving projects. Then there is my all time favorite... fleece, fleece and more fleece. I have bags of it everywhere. My husband endulges my whims for fleece and my two daughters have grown up with it everywhere so I think they would feel odd if the stuff were not all over the place. Even my dye pot sits ready to use in my bathroom on top of the cabinet that holds everything from bandaids, to alum for my natural dye escapades. This blog is an opportunity for me to initiate communication with a community of people just like me, and to give us an outlet for sharing ideas and inspirations. Every few days there will be a new article and a new picture to feast your eyes upon. So, go ahead and brouse, and see what you can use to fire your imagination. Try using something precious from your stash. That way, you can keep purchasing the things that give you pleasure and have no fear of your house bursting at the seams.
Today's picture is a beautiful picture that I downloaded some time ago just because I liked it. I wish I knew who took this beautiful photo. They certainly have an eye for a spinner's dream. Who could pass up the opportunity to sit at this lovely wheel and relax with a fine slip of fibre twisting through your fingers.
