Due to popular local requests, I've created an Etsy page. It's craftivistembroidery.etsy.com. Started by listing 4 of my hand embroidered Progress Pride flag lapel pins, one of my most difficult yet versatile designs. I will also accept custom orders or replicas of any of my previous designs.

The government shutdown is especially tough on men, who are losing $1.00 for every 75¢ a woman loses.

Finishing this very diverse hoop of patches! Got the peace in Ukraine flower, artistic interpretation of the leather community pride flag (very important part of pride history!), nonbinary pride flag, and two Gilbert Baker pride flag 70's flowers.

Heard there's a Defund Palantir National Protest today! Coincidentally, I just finished this 1984 themed patch using the #Palantir logo. Tried a few new techniques. It's not perfect, but I love it. Feelings have been expressed.

Black and red patch with a thin white border and the Palantir logo in the middle. Text on top of the logo says "It's always 1984 somewhere."

Bi and pan pride flag flowers! Pan is my favorite because of the CMYK color scheme (missing K though). CMYK can make any color, much like the broad attraction possible in pansexuality. The bi flag is very calming, though.

In honor of every minute spent doing paperwork and calling people to live instead of living (looking at you, governments and insurance companies), I made this patch that doubles as a hazard sign: administrative burden can be deadly.

#stitchsky #embroidery #craftivism #bureaucracy
Yellow patch in the shape of a triangular hazard sign, stating "Warning: Administrative Burden" with a skull and crossbones in the middle symbolizing deadly hazard.

I present... TBH/Autism Creature in a summer hat! Tried a basket weave stitch I saw online for the first time. It feels exactly like a woven rug.

Just finished embroidering another swirl design. This one is in Progress Pride flag colors. I like how smooth these feel. Chain stitch and silk stitch are some of my favorite embroidery textures by far. Used white gold nylon for the border.

TIL: Snapping a needle hole in half is possible.

I'd easily embrace this as a regular form of protest. Good for targeting members of the public, staff, lobbyists, and officials all at once. We all need to learn a lot more stuff than we currently know, exponentially true for elected officials.

Trying a little vent poetry.

How much longer until quoting history is a threat? Until speaking-remembering luring into dark woods with sweet words and a knife someone's son who rips sons from their mothers-wives-children's homes-cars-streets is a threat? How much longer until speaking-remembering they wouldn't bomb the train tracks dark trains slits in sides heavy on tracks Remembering they wouldn't drop the bombs the hope that bombs would fall mixing chemicals placing hope without a flag is a threat? How much longer until speaking-remembering forged documents holes in ceilings cellars walls flipped beds to hide the warmth is a threat?

Wow, I never thought of this! Could be fun to put something like this on a T-shirt or vest when I learn to make them properly. It looks like it actually glows. ✨

Looks like something I might have sewed. And you do NOT want to see my sewing. I may be able to embroider, but my garment attempts are currently all sized wrong, crunch instead of drape, pucker, and take 9 hours when the pattern says 1. Just like Bozos's suit.

People think I'm biased against Jeff Bezos, but here's Sartoria F. Caraceni, widely considered one of the best bespoke tailoring houses in the world, commenting on Bezos's wedding suit.

Thus ends my last-minute #Pride #embroidery dump for pride month. More in progress. Pride #stitchsky is year-round for me because I enjoy it (lovely color scheme) and it's a cool way to radically exist and be visible.

As a final bonus, here's what the finished stuff looked like on an 8 inch hoop.
Hooped embroidery.

Queer question, or questioning queer? Questions and ambiguity are such a basic part of LGBTQIA+ life (both regarding the self and perceiving others) that I just had to express it in stitches. This one is to silently yell "FELLOW GAY/NON-CIS?" at the locals.

Pansexual pride flag themed strawberry! I like the CMYK theme of the flag. CMYK can make any color combination, just like pansexuality can mean attraction to any gender or regardless of gender. Also, CMYK matches every outfit.

Stitched this pair of lesbian pride flags as a gift. The sunset color theme of the community lesbian flags are my favorite of all pride flags. Relaxing and romantic vibes. Added yellows from the butch pride flag as borders.

I was inspired by the Gilbert Baker pride flag flower project I did earlier this month to turn the full spectrum colors into another endless swirl. It's somewhere between candy and seashell. Added a nylon border this time.

A swirl in bisexual flag colors! I really enjoy this shape. Stitching the swirl between the silk stitch stripes is particularly satisfying.

Pair of embroidered pins for pockets. Rainbow pride flag peace signs returned to meaning denuclearization between start and finish. The Norwich stitch triangles are a reminder that LGBTQIA+ rights are not set in stone. We must remain active defending them.

Planetary rings constantly fall into the planets they orbit. Bi rings around the lesbian planet illustrate how I feel: always in orbit about to fall in. Yellow border is from the butch pride flag.
