Green Craft Carnival
Crafting a Green World has started a new blog Carnival called the The Carnival of Green Crafts (naturally).
Dissent is Patriotic
I had this moment of trepidation when opening this email this morning. The subject was ‘celebrating the 4th in fine fashion’. There’s been a rash of July 4th crafts going round the internet at the mo. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with July 4 crafts, I just get nervous around patriotic [...]
Fabric of Resistance - The Wiki
A little while ago I mentioned a new project that was about to begin at Radical Cross Stitch and now it’s time to share it with you all.

Free Tibet Denim Jacket

People like you just fuel my fire

The Fabric of Resistance
This is the 500th post for Radical Cross Stitch!*
So to celebrate, I want to announce a new project that I need your help on.
One of the things that has become very clear to me in doing and talking to other people about radical craft is that political and radical craft is far from a new [...]

This is the project that has been sitting on my to-do list the longest this year, and it’s finally done!
Craftivism for the Planet
The Storque at Etsy is having a wee series called Earth Tones and it is focussed on the environmental issues faced by the crafting community and how the crafting community responds to these issues.
It’s a collaboration between the Eco-Etsy and Trashion Street Teams.
The articles, which so far cover why you should be green, how to [...]
Craft Cartel Podcast Episode #3
This is the podcast that nearly broke me folks! It’s been a major struggle to get this one together, due to various glitches in the Matrix. It’s been one of those if it can go wrong, it will go wrong type projects! I was intending to get this online by Monday but [...]
