  3. This was lovely, Thank-You; I enjoyed it very much!
    As a Miniaturist, I completely relate to hearing this Weaver speak about the connectedness to One’s Materials. I feel so much more satisfaction foraging and processing the materials I use, or at least searching them out and developing unique ways to work with them — than when simply purchasing what I need.
    Of course I have to do that too, but try to forage as much as I can.

    I think that this Connectedness is also probably the reason why I prefer to do the work with My hands rather than using electrical tools — despite the fact that the process takes longer. Being in direct-contact with the materials, the way they feel and sensing how pressure(…) effects them; it’s like playing a musical instrument or a dance — experiencing the give-and-take with One’s materials, and ultimately using that synergy to create something lovely.
    …Such a great feeling!!!
