Crystalheart's Profile

Bio

Former professional art director/graphic designer, Crystalheart has always been inspired by living near the sea.
The colours of the sea, the sky, the scent of sea air and wild roses, the treasures she finds while exploring East Coast beaches along the Northumberland Strait,.. the colours, winds and moods of the mists and mountains behind her home on the coast of the Bay of Fundy.
Wherever she roams, she cannot help but be inspired!

Growing up in Newfoundland, she was surrounded by knitters and craftsfolk, many who craft out of necessity as much as for pleasure. Great-grandma's spinning wheel had its place in the family livingroom, and always was a source for curousity. During Summer '05, she fulfilled a lifelong dream to learn to spin and worked at a small textile museum in a picturesque village steeped in history with tales of shipbuilders, innkeepers, merchants, wealth, romance, intrigue, pirates and outlaws!
