Spalting, Sw. blåved, wood that is discoloured but not structurally weakened by fungi. My grandpa liked to do fine #woodworking in spalted wood in the 70s. I think it may have been a fad at the time in Sweden.

“I make collages as a hobby using all sorts of random material left over from other things. A friend recently gave me a carrier bag with a note, ‘hope these might be useful in your wonderful creations’.
It was full of beads, bits of ribbon, odd buttons, old wrapping paper and greetings cards, etc. It was a lovely gesture and will inspire me to create more artworks.”
What a lovely act of #kindness from your friend. A big thanks to the anonymous crafter who sent this in to us.
Surely the scariest ghosts we've ever seen!

One of my oldest good friends basically one day said ‘fuck tech I’m going to be a carpenter. I’m going to make things by hand’ and
He not only did that, he actually does make things by hand (he specializes in Japanese wood working)
I love checking in on what he’s doing. He just gets better and better. Can’t wait to physically see him in person again when I can go back to the city where we used to live

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Japanese craftwork became a lifeline for a New Yorker as she contemplated a major move with her husband. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/community/2025/10/13/voices/sashiko-embroidery/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #community #voices #sashiko #craft #japanesecrafts #expats #kyoto
I FINALLY got around to decorating and firing some of the lidded tea bowls that I made a few months ago.
Here's one of my favorites: a bunny with radishes
if you want to see them all, I shared photos in my website's latest blog post

Just home from the Tatreez workshop at V & A Dundee, the workshop was organised by Tatreez Collective.
If you get a chance to go to a workshop by T.C, please go. No stitching experience required as they talk you through the steps to cross stitch.
It was a really interesting workshop, about the history of Palestinian stitching and the meaning of some of the main patterns used. Obviously politics did come into it.
Tatreez Collective was set up to preserve the embroidery, the meaning, while also providing work for women in Palestine.
They addressed the point of cultural appropriation, their reasoning is, it is not cultural appropriation so long as you describe it as Tatreez or Palestinian Embroidery and spread on the knowledge of what the patterns mean.
I realise this is a rambling description of the workshop and probably makes no sense. I feel horrific and can't stop shaking after the effort of today, but I wanted to tell you about it before it leaves my brain.

Chance Would Be A Fine Thing

Created by Bangkok-based design-art collective COPODE. Each #book contains 100 designs and an essay about chance combinations in #graphic layout using custom-made auto-layout #software.
I’m currently working with COPODE on the design of a set of badges playfully responding to the ‘100% Human Made’ movement in #art. That movement promotes the belief that genuine art can only be created by individual #humans through sparks of inspiration born of lived personal experience and the long development of #craft and skills.
Our badges, by contrast, read:
100% Inhuman: Made With AI
The accompanying text will affirm that the work was not created through a spark of human genius – a claim to originality that, from a #feminist and #decolonial perspective, has been likened to a form of colonial violence – but emerges from an assemblage of #human and nonhuman forces: bodies, texts, political infrastructures and, yes, #ai.
