Using Your Hands as a Way of Creating Connection

'Seasonal Shades' exhibited at The LAND gallery NM / Abigail Doan (2009)

I was recently interviewed by writer Amy DuFault, Fashion Editor for EcoSalon, regarding the mental and creative benefits of using one's hands in crafting, fiber work, fashion projects, and even domestic tasks. You should definitely read Amy's 'Using Your Hands To Soothe The Brain'/part 1 if you in are need of a 'mental vitamin' and inspiration in the depths of winter.

It is quite flattering to be featured alongside Natalie Chanin of Alabama Chanin and Jill Danyelle of Danyelle.org. Stay tuned for part 2 of Amy's installment early next week on EcoSalon.
