The number of times I wrote Studio - stamping or Studio - stitch on my daily to do list in the last week or more is funny. I think I managed an hour or two twice during the week before I needed to come home and nap. So progress has been slow.
I set out to do the Letraset on the red cards. In the foreground is an inside cover masked off for stamping.
Here are some of the cards. I honestly feel as if it's got to be this loud, this simple, this clear.
You can feel my frustration and weariness in this one.
And it has been interesting to see how red is featuring elsewhere as well.
As I watch with horror at all of the losses in the US, I have taken to stitching in Morse code.
If you want to discover for yourself what it says, you can check here.
Otherwise I have written what the de-coded message is, way down below.
RESIST
I think there could be a world of subversive stitchers and printers out there.
comforting to know that I'm not the only one who isn't getting to the everything on the list recently (although I'm sorry you are in need of naps) ... and I love the red, with the bold black words ... if only "they" would JUST STOP!
ReplyDeleteHow good would it be if we could get them to JUST STOP - we are so tired of it and them all. The colours have come up well I think. Simple strong statements...
DeleteLove this post, your red cards with black lettering send a clear message, straightforward and to the point.
ReplyDeleteAs for the US, I am dumbfounded with the insanity of it all, the utter meanness.
Simplicity can sometimes be the way to go...and it is just awful watching what is happening on so many levels in the US.
DeleteThis is such a powerful statement especially as it is long past time for subtlety on this issue. And resist we shall, dear Fiona. So grateful for your insights and inspiration--whether it is organizing our studios or finding our voices. Those of us living in Trump's nightmare land really appreciate our sisters' struggles the world over. Onward.
ReplyDeleteThanks Leslie, you are right, I have honestly given up being subtle. It needs to be said loud and clear and simply. It seems like a win has been had with the rescinding of the federal grants freeze, but my goodness how scary are all the moves being made in so many directions. Resist, then Repair.... xF
