Alternative to getting a comm: I post all my wip photos and embroidery on Patreon, including early viewing of work and orders I don't share here! I also share my writing and monthly wrap-ups for media and thrifting
New blog post is up on Patreon! This time around, I'm discussing Soviet made toys and Russian sculptor Lev Smorgon.

Hannah Höch, women and embroidery
![3 Ibid., 86. "This "personal handwriting' in women's handiwork is actually its greatest value. Because technical per-fection alone does not do it, otherwise surely machine-made work would be the highest kind. The embroidery worked as from the factory lacks for the connoisseur and admirer an ultimate charm, an aura, which wafts over things: lacks precisely the personal. Works produced mechanically also carry a commercial hand writing]: deft, fluid, correct-but simply copperplate."
Embroidery is very closely related to painting. It is constantly changing with every new style each epoch brings. It is an art and ought to be treated like one... you, craftswomen, modern women, who feel that your spirit is in your work, who are determined to lay claim to your rights (economic and moral), who believe your feet are firmly planted in reality, at least Y-O-U should know that your embroidery work is a documentation of your own era.
