I cannot think well without thread and needle nearby. There are moments when a vintage map, a neglected piece of sheet music, or maybe an old letter needs to be introduced to a wild drawing or to some fine handmade paper. Perhaps some silk organza slips in. Scissors get involved. Glue and thread meet. Stories are told.
