I am an artist. I live in Plymouth, MA with my Peter and the cats.
In addition to creating handspun yarns/fluid sculpture and making
hats and jewelry, I design websites for creative people and
make visual art, some for publication, some for for my own exploration.

Back before there were many online venues for such things, I created
another site, crochetlab. It's a microzine that explores the
experimental/artistic side of crochet and related arts.
Also, check out The Yarn Museum.

For workshops, teaching and writing, email me.
You can reach me at linda@stoneleafmoon.com

About the handspun yarn I spin:
Every yarn is an experiment and an exploration. I aim to create yarn that I would want
to work with, and that will inspire you to experiment with whatever YOU make out of it.

Each yarn has idiosynchrasies that are intentional, altho not necessarily planned.
Most
meander in a random way. My hope is that the yarn whispers to you and suggests what
it wants to be, and that you whisper something back.

Please do send me pictures of your finished/in progress works!

Note: All yarns are
handwashed before shipping to you.

About the hats:
I try to create hats that I've never seen before. Very often the yarn I'm working
with inspires me to go in a particular direction. Most of my hats are made from
handspun yarn, and the method of creation is experimental or freeform crochet.

I want to create hats that look like the first hats that have ever been created
on the face of the earth. My hope is that people enjoy wearing these
one of a kind fun/sacred and/or protective objects, and that they enhance
the life of the people who wear them.

The jewelry :
I love making these little sculptures for your body. A really unique mix of colors and
textures that I find in my travels. I can never find the kind of jewelry I like to wear,
so I made them myself! As with the yarns, I am inspired by ancient relics, the raggedy
and imperfect, but whether they are from a past or future civilization, I can't say...
