dear johanna, we are a small 100% independent german publishing house. at the moment, we are putting together an anthology of feminist manifestos, including texts from olympe de gouges, sojourner truth, valentine de saint-point and valerie solanas.

we would love to illustrate the excerpt of solana’s scum manifesto with a photo of your stitch “the Valerie Solanas project”.

would you give us the permission to use it? and is it possible to obtain high resolution images of this picture?

of course i would send you a copy of the book, if you would like to have one? it’s in german..

best, jelena

Thanks very much,
Jelena Kleißler

Hello Johanna!

I loooove this pattern, as well, and I’m a fan of the manifesto. Do you mind sending me the gun pattern, as well? You should totally create a complete pattern to sell. I know I would buy it!

I’ve found the pattern for the gun now, so if you give me your e-mail I can send it to you (it’s a pdf).

Hey Johanna,

I would really appreciate the pattern if you could find it! I’m trying to find a photo on the internet that I can make into a pattern using the free KG-Chart software that I downloaded but haven’t had any luck so far.
I’m still really new to cross stitch and am looking to tackle a bigger piece. I’ve basically been trying to use the traditional work that’s out there but with my own spin on it.

By the way, I think your work is amazing! – Morgan

Morgan: I think the border was something I made up by using different patterns from a DMC pattern book. The guns are made from a pic I found on the internetz & turned into a pattern. Think it’s still on my old PC that crashed & burned this summer, but I’ll try & rescue it for you.

Do you have a pattern for the border and guns that you would be willing to share? I would love to use them in my current project!!
