From garden to fiber art: A blooming masterpiece.
Oh, Hello there!
Thank you for visiting my little shop! I have always been passionate about fiber art and gardening, and after years of dreaming, I finally opened String and Petals in January 2024.
Gardening and crafting have been passed down among the women in my family for generations, and they have become an essential part of my everyday life. I find so much joy in taking something tiny, like a seed or a string, and transforming it into something beautiful. I hope that one of our creations can bring you the same joy.
I invite you to explore my shop, where you can find inspiration, learn new skills, and discover the joys of crochet and gardening. We all deserve a little plant joy in our lives, so I welcome you to join me on this journey!
The true cost of crochet
The origin of crochet is unknown, but it has been an art form that has been passed down through generations, much like in my family. Crochet is a craft that still requires the skilled hands of an artisan. While many other art forms have been mass-produced using modern technology, crochet remains unique. The stitches used to create the texture and draping of the crocheted fabric can only be achieved by hand. When you hold a crocheted item, you can be confident that an artisan somewhere in the world has meticulously crafted it. At String and Petals, we believe in fair wages for all artisans, which is reflected in each piece of our work.
