BLOG OF NOTES WEDGED, ALTARS FOLDED AND OF EVERYDAY MUSINGS.

welcome to

Pace of a Straw

Pace of a Straw is a folder for everyday musings, fragmented, delirious, doubtful and of hope. It is where my flameworking, traveling & writing are intimately close & I would love to share their kinship with you here.
