The best art inspires more art and creation.
One of the many reasons I love is the creativity and costuming she inspires with . You’re surrounded every show by the most gorgeous people with completely unique looks, and yet each one looks like it belongs there. For the second stop I was able to attend, I decided to bring my best as a hand embroideress with some custom stitching. Though I couldn’t include every single lyric/moment I loved from Everybody Scream, I did fit a few of my favorites alongside the album iconography. Harder to photograph than I thought it would be, as the design is all about how it moves with me when I dance, but here are my attempts.

“EVERYBODY SCREAM”
“Well, do you see me now?”
“Aching, aching, aching and alive”
“Peace is coming”
✨🪡🪄
Thank you, once again, F+tM for the simultaneous ritual/exorcism/dance party/worship/cleansing/sympathy magic.
Till next time!

Brought back an old favorite with a new twist this month. Experimented a bit earlier this year mixing fabric paint and thread for a different kind of dimension. This, and some other fresh pieces (including hats!), are out at Red Hive! 🐝🪡 More on the way!

You heard it here first! New additions to my Red Hive Market space today 🪡🧵🐝

I’ve seen a lot of discourse the past year about art and its place in resistance. Many have called it performative or the least engaged form of protest and there is validity in that. But I also know, from experience, that art can change the hearts of stubborn minds. I have been trying to reconcile these truths, especially at protests where rage adjoins with creativity in the unique ways individuals express their outrage, sadness, or hope.
While reading up on fascist resistance of the past, I was reminded of the sticker Woody Guthrie added to his guitar during WWII (slide 4), which originated from American machinists. The radical notion at the time was that his music, his art, was an active part of the war effort, powerful enough to kill fascism. But it’s not so radical to think about these days, is it? With all we have been forced to encounter about radicalization and tribalism, true change and the desire to break away has to come from within.
There are so many ways to defeat such evil like we are seeing on a daily basis in America now. You can take to the streets, like the incredibly brave people of Minneapolis. Get involved with mutual aid in your community. Donate funds to organizations doing incredible work supporting at risk community members. And yes, you can channel the feelings of the collective into art and craft. It may be in hope of inspiring someone to see truth. It may be a meditative act to process the constant stream of fear and hate. It may be a rallying cry for those losing hope or a respite of joy for the weary. But there is no doubt in my mind that the handmade has a vital place.
Is art alone enough? No. And lately I’ve struggled with allowing myself the space to create anything when my needle and thread feel so small and useless against the terror.
Claude Monet shared his guilt about continuing to create during WWI (slide 😎. And yet, you look at the weeping willows referenced (slide 9), and you see the terror and pain of that moment transcribed beautifully across time. I found comfort in that commonality.
So I will continue to use my machine 🪡 to the best of my ability, and I hope you continue to use yours too.

F**k ICE. Abolish ICE. Prosecute ICE.
✨
National Strike is on Friday, January 30th. Some of us will be able to step away from our desks. Others can set down our wallets. Many local businesses in our area are not able to close, but are offering their spaces as community gathering spots - no purchase necessary. My Etsy shop is in vacation mode.
I say this to note not everyone will show up the same tomorrow. Everyone’s situations are different, and there are many ways to express solidarity. However you can or are able, your piece of the greater puzzle matters. ✊🖤✨

It’s not stitched (yet) but we’ll make an exception this time. Abolish the fascist secret police. F**K ICE.

Like anyone with a conscience, I’ve been even more shaken than usual this week. Mutual aid organizations in my town held a vigil for victims of ICE tonight, and it was good to grieve with others. We listened to their names and stories and we cried together. The night ended with a collective scream of “F**K ICE!” which was both a release and a battle cry. I am trying to let that resistance energy continue to take the lead. Been working to try and process this exhaustion and doom into new work, I hope to have more pieces to share with you soon.

“Come back with a warrant”

So many pieces I make never make it to social media, mostly because I forget to share them 😅, and looking back through my camera role I thought this sassy sloth deserved some love. ❤️

If you were looking for a pair of these last year and weren’t able to snag one, now is the time! 😊🤭
