My husband sent me a screenshot the other night, of a comments thread on a NY Times recipe for Spicy Sesame Noodles with Chicken and Peanuts:
He sent this to me because he knew I'd appreciate it from my crochet editorial days. And boy did I.
What he didn't know is that I'd already recorded this podcast episode, and that I talked about this very thing in it.
The episode is about the derivative nature of crafts – and not in a bad way. In a good way, which involves learning from each other and remixing what we learn to create new things. And it's about craft instructions being guidelines that are not the law! We can chose to change anything we want in the projects we make. Sometimes things may not turn out like we want them to, but that's half the fun.
Hit reply and tell me about a project you made by mixing in elements from a few different sources, or by going off-book from a pattern!
Show Notes
- Each episode this season begins with a short clip of a maker or artist talking about a recent project they were obsessed with. I recorded all of these in April of 2019 at Camp Thundercraft, a retreat for creative businesspeople held each spring and hosted by the folks behind Urban Craft Uprising. I'm very excited to be going back to teach two classes at the 2020 retreat coming up.
- Today we hear from artist Zoe Osenbach, who makes incredible works out of found objects.
