RADICALCROSSSTITCH

A bunch of Rad things

Apologies for the lack of blogging. I’m in full on pregnancy countdown mode at the mo, and it’s not being the easiest one. So I’m thinking things will be pretty sporadic for a while. But there’s some stuff I just HAVE to share with you all!

I’m sure most of you have checked out the handmade internet sensation regretsy.com – it’s a hilarious site and has quite the cult following these days. I was very proud to have not one, but TWO products featured on there! First off (and not that surprisingly) was the embroidery porn piece I did for the Craft Cartel Trashbag Rehab workshop earlier in the year. It sold within hours of being posted on regretsy and I’ve had tons of custom orders. It’s been quite surreal.

What was then even more surreal was the email I got from Regretsy asking if I’d be keen to be part of a card series they were planning. Yeah why the hell not?

So you too can own your own piece of embroidered gay anime porn, and even better – share the love with your friends and family!

That’s mine discretely being censored by the others..  You can buy 8 of one design or a set of two of each.  And at $10 a set, that’s quite the bargain.

And in other regretsy news, they’ve managed to sign a book deal with Random House.  I’m thinking the porn might not pass their censorship standards.  But luckily I have another product on regretsy’s site – the legendary Plug Rugs!  Which have, of course, now sold out.  These also popped up on the salon.com story about regretsy.  So hopefully they get in the book.

The other rad thing I’ve been meaning to post for ages is the pdf of the Interventionist Guide zine!  If you go to the website and click on Guides, mine is about halfway down.  The zine features a whole lot of my thoughts about urban spaces and how we relate to them as humans.  As well as the tutorial on how to cross stitch a heart on a bicycle basket.

Finally, have you checked out the London-based Craftivist Collective yet?  They’re getting up to some seriously ace stuff.  This latest pic popped up on Facebook and I reckon it’s a big bucket of brilliant.  They’ve got tons of things going on so if you want to join in go join them on FB.
