Atherton Tablelands, Far North Queensland
Hi, I'm HP.
I crochet, I write, I make music, and I stream most of it live. I've been crocheting for 56 years, and somewhere along the way that turned into Hellsbells — a small brand for all the things I make, tied together by a rainforest palette of copper and teal.
The crochet
Decades of practice, now streamed live — fantasy amigurumi built from a 14-pattern book, with the audience voting on colours and creatures.
The music
Ambient electronica made in the quiet hours, released as HPoulos71 / Hellsbells4121.
The stories
Writing as Briony Bramble, I set gentle bedtime adventures in the real rainforest around Lake Eacham and Mount Hypipamee.
The stream
All of it comes together live on Twitch — crafting, chat, and the odd raffle for a hand-stitched creature.
