In this episode of NeedleXChange I interview Kate Tume.

Kate Tume, an embroidery and mixed-media artist known as Mother Eagle, creates vibrant masks that personify new Gods and draw from her interest in magic, witchcraft, and mythology.

We talk about how the death of Kate's husband transformed her creative journey, and how her connection with life and nature underpins everything.
