CLOSED - Giveaway! Featured Favorites Friday: Celtic Knotwork Textile Witchery

So a long long time ago I was wandering around the trade teams of etsy and fell in love with this beautiful dragon momma and baby by FreeDragonFabrica.  It was so cute, I just HAD to have it!  I have since added a Scrim Dragon (who is amazing and the pictures do him no justice) and a Spiral Horse fabric to my growing witchy textile art collection.


I got a chance to interview this magical  textile artist and she is generously offering one of my readers a chance to win one of these two hand-woven celtic knot wall hangings.  They are one continuous looped strand of yarn based on real Celtic knots, with strands woven over and under.  Read on to enter.
FreeDragon is also offering free shipping through January with code FREESHIP

Dark Mirror Craft Secret Storage Book


Me: How did you get started working with fabrics?
FreeDragon: I started sewing when I was 23. (I will be 35 tomorrow) My mother, grandmother, and all my aunts sew. My mother used to make my clothes and I would play with the fabric scraps. I liked to glue the scraps to paper.

Me: Is there a special place your creative inspirations comes from?  How does your religion/faith path impact your creativity?
FreeDragon: Inspiration usually comes from art or nature. I like pretty things and if I see something beautiful I want to recreate it. Sometimes I treat my projects like spells. I'll smudge the materials with incense and start the project on a particular moon phase. I'll make careful choices about numerology and color meaning.

Dragons of Starry Skies

Me: What's up with the owl and the dragons?
FreeDragon: As for dragons- I've always liked them and I can't remember any time when they weren't in my life. I was going to say I just started working with owls because I wanted a powerful totem to protect my blog against hackers, but now that I think about it, owls have always been in my life too. I like birds in general- crows and humming birds are more of my favorites. Of course, I think dragons should have wings. Maybe I just like things that fly!
