Purple Heather's photostream  

Twentysomething crafter living in the Midlands, UK with my wonderfully caring boyfriend, who is tolerant of my many eccentricities. I live to make stuff with my hands, and have a wide range of craft-related skills, including, but not limited to, sewing, knitting, crochet, lino prints, spinning, and papercrafts.

I'm dyspraxic (poor coordination), and, like other dyspraxics I know, seem to have a determination not to let it stop me doing things. Hence the reason I'm learning lindy hopping, which is fantastic fun.

My dayjob has nothing to do with my interests or hobbies, but I work for a great company, with fantastic colleagues.

I love macro photography, and adore getting up close at the beautiful things that I find. I have a Canon powershot A95, a lovely little camera. One day I'll get a big posh one, but it's all too easy to spend the money on crafty shinies.

My photostream is a mix of photos of things I've made (mainly for Craftster, a kick ass crafting community), macro shots, and photos of places I've been & things I've done.

Feel free to have a bimble around, I'd love your opinion on my shots, and any constructive help with next steps in my photography journey.

You can buy prints of my photos on Folksy:
