What’s your favourite protest song?
5/5 Double pages 13-15 - the end.
1/5 A new art book is ready. I don't know why I craft them nor how to explain what I do. It's an intuitive way of working with colours, textures, mixed media and collage, for seeing, touching, and more. A very #meditative work.
This one was the attempt to find something beautiful in our maize #monocultures that I detest.
Just browse my book here.
Current state of a small project in between, to see how I could use up really small leftovers of fabric from other projects. Nice outcome. The inner square is only 4 x 4 cm.

About last night...
Handarbeitsvorräte aufgefüllt. Der Stanzer für 1"-Hexies erleichtert echt so viel. Habe mich außerdem dafür entschieden, nicht nur das blaue Leinen zu verwenden, sondern auch ein paar Blüten mit gelbem Mittelpunkt zu machen (Stoffrest aus anderem Projekt). Schöner Kontrast.
2/2 Some pieces of my #smolArt for #hope ... recycling saree #silk and vintage #lace with #slowStitching and some French words on paper. ca 8 x 5.5 cm
Is there something like #hopepunk for #textileart?

Na? Wie wär's mit nem Stückchen?
Dieser französische Rhabarberkuchen ist super schnell zusammengerührt und passt perfekt in eine Tarte-Form. Zum Rezept findet ihr via Link in der Bio oder direkt so:
Zu sehen auch das fertige... Quilt-Deckchen? Untersetzer? Mini-Quilt-Ding? Eigentlich als Telleruntersetzer fürs Kind genäht (unebene Tischplatte). Nach Fertigstellung streikte die Familie allerdings, weil zu schön dafür. Jetzt.. keine Ahnung was ich damit machen soll.

1/2 I need your feedback: I made some #talismans as #wearableArt: you can either frame them or wear them as a #brooch.
My idea: some #goodVibes #hope and #beauty for difficult times. Made by my real human hands, mainly with #silk rests from sarees (#recycling waste) and #slowStitching.
One place for #art said: Our clients are too conservative for it.
Can you imagine that people could like it or is my idea too crazy? (If it would be a "thing" I could sell online.)
Labour of love.
Decided on a pattern for my Grandmother's Flower Garden Quilt an started to sew a test. My plan - so far - is to use no newly produced fabric. I made the first flowers out of a rest of my 1. medieval-byzantine garb, an old jumpsuit of my kid (woodland critters), a shirt I never wore and a vintage fabric scrap. The border of the flower (or the "ways" between the flowers in the garden, there will also be "leafs" in various shades of green) consists of second hand cloth, I hope I have enough of it. I had the luck to find second hand some vintage fabric from a quilter (may the earth be light on her). I bought ~ 4 Kg fabric online really cheap and without really knowing what was in it, only because of some turquoise cotton fabric I saw on a crappy photo. I gambled a bit and was rewarded. When I opened the parcel I was so happy to find that there were several pieces of (vintage and modern) damask bedclothes included, hand died in green, olive and turquoise. Really, it's an absolute treasure box.
Edit: (Also: I feel like I am deeply in need to review my thoughts about #art and crafting. When I look at other peoples things: Yes! This is art!
When I look at my things: No, you just did.. apply things you bought, used techniques you saw.
