Still a Revolution, Still Dancing!
One of the things I love the most about this site is when I get links from other people who have used the patterns on the DiY Page. But this one has excited me more than most!
Some of you may recognise this as the same pattern I used to stitch the Red Emma banner I submitted to the Extreme Craft Exhibition in Lithuania last year. Unfortunately that piece got lost in the post on the way home (thanks postal workers strike – hope one of you found it and it’s on the wall in a union office somewhere!). So it’s really cool to see another one made! And the best bit is that this one is actually finished. I ran out of time to finish my one and didn’t do the shoulders so great to see the whole thing!
Katie Blair is the ace creator of this. It was made for a friend? So hopefully the recipient is super excited to get such an awesome present.
On another Emma topic and a sad note. My wee pussy cat, Emma, had a bit of a run in with the road on Sunday night and is now sleeping peacefully in the bottom of our garden. I wanted to share this picture with you
sniff.
Craft Cartel Podcast Episode #7
This episode of the Craft Cartel podcast is a recording of a recent event we hosted in Melbourne called ‘The Revolution is Handmade’.
The first half of the ‘cast is a talk by Rayna and it’s titled ‘The Fabric of Resistance’. This podcast is kinda like Radio With Pictures ’cause you can follow along with the talk with the slideshow below
The musical interlude is a track called ‘Memories’ by Shorti RV (whom I can’t find anything about online, I’m guessing she’s Sydney-based, if anyone knows anything about her can you leave a comment? xox)
The second part of the show is the talk by Dr Joyce Stalker from the University of Waikato, Hamilton, Aotearoa New Zealand. Dr Stalker talks about fabric crafts and political change. Don’t have the slideshow online sorry, but hopefully will in the future so we’ll update this when happens.
And as always we’d love to hear from you, comment below or drop us a line. And don’t forget to check out the archive if you’re new round here.
