About

About me

I'm Bronte. I live in Hobart and work three days a week in a library. On the other days I lay out stones on a cloth by the window, write in a journal and walk the coastal track when there's a full moon.

I started writing down my grids because I kept forgetting which stone went where. The notes became layouts, the layouts became printables, and the letter grew from there.

I don't make claims for any of it. For me a grid is a way to sit still with an intention for ten minutes. I sell the layouts, a moon journal, a deck of cards and two short video courses.
