I am also loving this as I’m doing a sabbatical where I found an excuse to make bags as my research outcome so I’m listening to it while sewing

On the way here I passed a huge new sign recruiting people to join the Freemasons and you know what why not

I’m glad they exist. I’m very happy for them. But I do not like seeing them. Basically anxiety speed walked back

I didn’t see its head and I have no idea if it moved in front of me a moment earlier or was already there, but as I said, very fat round guy, perfect looking.

Gabby had done a lot with NFCs and textiles - she put stories in a quilt that was also a map quiltmap.wordpress.com

So not embroidery, but in this project we linked resources and readings to a textile using NFC tokens. We made them the jacket's buttons as a way to interact with the project.

Oh I love this! Exactly the kind of thing I am looking for!

Will do! I’ve been enjoying all your RTs of that hashtag!

Actually, maybe I do like the network idea for this, even though it is a bibliography for a single work, it would be really interesting to see how much the authors that influenced me cross cited each other? (This is the kind of scope creep that is very bad for a 6 month sabbatical)

It definitely doesn’t need to be literal, actually probably better if it’s not. publication year Or Topic as colour? right now my best thought was to stitch footnotes in various places that link best with the citations.

Oh I love this! Context is I’m doing a research creation project where I’m making bag while exploring my topic which centres around making as learning. i want to find a way to include some representation of citation for the materials I use and put into the bags as part of the textile itself.
