I stitched this while in line to vote yesterday. Framed it in a Dandelyne hoop today. Will be wearing it every day to remember what I voted for and what I will fight for.
fall wonder
Up, down--there is wonder all around
Fancy tools
Specialty made tools have their purpose, but sometimes folded and wet newspaper just can't be beat. It's the closest you'll get to "touching" glass while it's still 1000+ degrees and allows for shaping that can't be accomplished with wood or steel.
Studio vibes
Enjoying some splashes of color and texture before I pack up these flowers and vase for Eastern Market.
You are...
On Saturday we welcomed the community into the studio for our second Craft Party.
As we did in July, makers used paper and glue to transform playing cards into messages for the community #craftivism style. Each piece used the phrase "You are..." to create tiny affirmations as seen in the "You Are So Very Beautiful" Craftivism project.
We have plans to do a community walk next week (when things are a little drier) to deliver these messages around Hyattsville. In the meantime, here's a look at a few of awesome messages the community crafted up. Many thanks for sharing your creativity with the community!
We have some ideas in the works for our next Community Craft Party activity and are thinking early December. Hop on the email list to be first to get all the details!
