Fierce Fibers
I've loved the "yarns of transformation" logo of Alchemy, and hae made many a flowering concoction of beads and knitted balls, and trinkets just to be able to grasp the concept of art and magic that their subtle dying conveys. And bamboo ,pine, silk, jadite and steel have intrigued me from other spinners of fine threads, just to give you some examples of my favorites. And as I read the lore of whitches brews, love potions and the fircests of treatments for fevers: like the henbane and wolf's bane. If I could weave just a few fibers into some flax as tribute to the women before us, it would be quite something.
