I like to talk about most things, so don't be shy!
This stitched loveletter is from the hand of British lettering artist Rosalind Wyatt. She stitched a Sanskrit / Indian love poem onto a lacy linen cloth and claims her work is about words. “The ‘sound’ of them, the ‘feel’ of them and the forming of letters.
This is a big bunch of nothing right now, but I’m in the middle of embroidering a uterus onto this lace square for someone’s art project about unnecessary hysterectomy/the treatment of bodies with uteruses in the medical establishment. Neat!
So, here are better photos of my recent body hair themed embroideries. I just finalized everything, and emailed my submission to the gallery! Crossing my fingers at least one of these gets accepted.
I started to not be able to breathe because I was freaking out so much about potential health problems and dying and disease so I took half a Klonopin and used my minimal artistic ability to start working on my perzine! Finished the cover! I don’t have to panic if I don’t wanna, darn it!
lgbtqia picnic in the park with banner-making for the queer block at the mayday parade, yummy vegan food shared with richmond food not bombs, and conversations about being queer in the workplace (“workplace” being defined very loosely)…if you’re in richmond, you should come out to monroe park this afternoon!

There’s really nothing up yet, mostly because I’m waiting on a battery for my camera. But the shop and all my information is up and I’m going to start listing teas and creams once I get my camera working, as well as embroidery as I finish it!
I cut up a soft, old belt and now I have a collar AND a little slapper thing! Good productive Sunday! Will there be pictures up later on my NSFW tumblr? I would bet money on it if I had any money.

trying to work through all of these developments in a way that doesn’t make me fall apart
