Hey, all! I’m a #musician, a #fiberartist, a #seamstress, a #book dragon, a #boardgamer and #videogamer, and in general, I never met a craft I didn’t at least want to try. Transmen are men, transwomen are women, abortion is healthcare, and science will save us. GenAI is theft; stop using it.

Here’s a really cool Florence Price piece that we Chaski gals played on the final concert of our 40th anniversary season. Have a listen. (Tbh, most of us would likely benefit from listening to a few minutes of contemplative music played on bass flute & harp!)

Here’s the Mapo #Tofu #Bao that I was mentioning earlier. The first batch is in the steamer now, so we’ll see how they turn out! I’m making a slightly modified version of this recipe - chejorge.com/2020/09/18/v...

Six Mapo Tofu Bao are resting on a metal baking sheet covered with a silicone mat. They are nice and round with lovely gathered tops. Five Mapo Tofu Bao are resting on a metal baking sheet covered with a silicone mat. They are nice and round with lovely gathered tops.

So, bad news first - I’ve been cooking all day and am not done yet, so no Twitch stream today. The good news is that I’ll be doing 2 other streams this week - Thur from 6-7pm CST for the Cultural Exchange Raid Train, and Sat from 12-1pm CST for the Bigfrog Noir Raid Train. See you then!

The world feels very unsettled, and art isn’t always the priority in these trying times. Even so, I'm here and keep on making.

These are my latest one-of-a-kind raku vessels available now. A share or like to help them find their people would mean a great deal. 🙏
6 raku vases in a grid with a white background in two rows of three. There is a vase name in black text under each image, from left to, to right bottom, the names are Lagoon Nebula, Draconis, Skyfire, Pinwheel, Persueus'Cloud, Tethy's Tide. A closeup of 3 vases glowing in the reduction firing of the raku process.

My husband and I ordered faaaaancy dinner from the local #vegan Japanese restaurant!
Two large and one small box of food are displayed on a kitchen countertop. There are four types of fancy vegan sushi, three different appetizers (cauliflower tempura, edamame, and a third fried tasty thing), and two small pieces of cake - one raspberry and the other chocolate.

I collect #medieval #hedgehog images! There’s a source from a manuscript that shows a couple of “zero G” #hedgehogs trying to get fruit which I used as the basis for the sleeve #embroidery on my 11th century tunic -

🧶🧵 #sewing #craftsky #stitchsky #SewAndTell #Handmade #GarmentSewing
A closeup of an 11th century-style linen tunic in green with wide dark blue bands around the ends of the elbow-length sleeves. The bands are embroidered with interlinking yellow circles edged in green. Each circle has a brown and yellow medieval hedgehog (half of them right side up, half of them upside down) with their noses against some clustered red fruit at the end of a curved green branch.

Aaaaand we’re back again to not being able to post videos. No error message, no progress bar, no nothing. Last time, it started to work again only after I had complained here via post of it not working, so here’s my best hope…

Popular romance phrases as performed by Chiyo. We think he really nailed it.

Which other phrases should he do next?

I should also mention, on this #BandcampFriday, that I have four albums, a book of sheet #music, and a punny #hedgehog t-shirt. You know, if you’re into that sort of thing.

It’s #bandcampfriday and I have a new single out called Piece Of Art. It’s about body positivity which is a tricky topic to sing about. I wrote the lyrics together with Shawn Hockaday. I do hope we did the topic justice.
