Your stitched butterfly is stunning, and your poem a kind of searching and circle, too.

Thanks Merril. I’ve been working on the butterfly for a long time, so it is like completing a circle.

I like how the repeating, simpler patterns “become themselves” with a thread in your hands.

Is that your embroidery, Kerfe? It’s beautiful! I love way stitches metamorphose into patterns, shapes and pictures. I used to embroider many years ago – now I sometimes knit.
