Unity Makes Us Stronger, Faith Ringgold, 2022.
These words seem timely as the new administration aims a barrage of attacks against democracy and freedom. It seems to me that we can only stand up if we all stand together. Check out the work at Indivisible.
I’ve joined Bluesky where I’ll be posting about the intersection of art, craft, and activism.
With both kids off in college, I’m finding some time to reflect. It’s been over eleven years since my first fabric collection with KOKKA! I’m slowly returning to the creative process, but wanted to start by looking back. I’ve re-designed and re-colored some of my past work and it’s now available on Spoonflower. I’ll be adding new designs there frequently so keep an eye out.
Ready to make some new fall masks? Yep, this is our world now. I’ve made various styles of masks over the past few months, but settled on this quick design that seems to satisfy most of my family. Obviously you should follow CDC guidelines and make sure that your mask fabric passes the candle test.
I ordered nose wires and elastic from Amazon [affiliate links], but check your local shop! Many shops are offering mask kits with a selection of fabrics.
Read, listen, share, call, email, make things. Do all the verbs. Black lives matter.
My fabric was featured in Jojo Rabbit! What an exciting surprise!
I was concerned that the premise for this movie wouldn’t work, but after seeing it, I found it be be a delightfully quirky movie with an earnest message. I loved the costume designs by Mayes C. Rubeo, whose work in the film led her to become the first Latina nominated for an Academy Award in costume design.
This double gauze fabric is from my Parallels collection of 2016.
