Look closer: the magic is in the details. Amanda’s textile art proves that the tiniest things - lichen, fungi, textures on bark - can be truly wondrous if we just take the time to notice. What small details have you been overlooking?
There are no rules in creativity. Amanda never formally trained in embroidery, yet she’s honed her own techniques by experimenting, making mistakes, and figuring things out as she goes. You don’t need permission to create - you have everything you need to begin!
Slow down and let inspiration find you. Amanda’s best ideas come from quiet, unhurried walks in nature. Whether it’s walking through the forest, pottering in your backyard, or just gazing out the window, where could you give yourself space to slow down and notice more?
