The Fox & Thistle Liminal
The Liminal is a creative almanac that weaves together seasonal observations, design work, vintage histories, poetry, recipes, upcycling, and more. Part historical almanac, part digital zine, part studio newsletter—the Liminal is a creative practice that follows the seasons through our studio’s yearly Fortnight Calendar. It is published with each new moon.
The Liminal has been on a short hiatus since July while we've been updating, enhancing, and planning its return. See the Buck Moon cycle issue to get an indexed tour of the first year of our almanac.
