Just spotted on the trail to my kiddo's school.

YES!

Warping always looks like ribbon candy to me.
New project of gauzy cotton and linen scarves is in the works!

An art group I'm in has been told "nothing political" by the organizer. The last group show we did was before the election.... so I'm wondering how to bring it up for this season. I get where she might be coming from...in our area it could be dangerous. But I don't think voices should be silenced.

I installed my first show!

I've done group shows before (one or two pieces amid others' work.) technically this is a group show, as I'm one of many gallery members. But it feels more individual than ever before.

I love this feeling. It's like I'm starting to get back in my skin again.

These are e most important #s for the Dems. They should be tracking all local media and influencers in these states and reposting it everywhere

The economic pain tariffs can indlict on red states need to be talked about more than anything else right now. It will flip voters.

Meanwhile Trump's tariffs will make those imports more $$, costing those GOP consumers and shuttering the shops, with the long term goal of reindustrializing the US so that our $ stays in our domestic/local economy.

Make it make sense!
Do Republicans even know who they are other than "NOT Democrat"

Miranda Caroligne @mirandacaroligne.bsky.social · Mar 16

As a maker, I find it absurd that GOP/MAGA shop and own stores packed with cheap imports, while leftists who care about community and environment shop local makers and farm stands.

I'm searching for quotes to embroider into the weaving project that I'm currently working on. #RBG is 🔥

"We have the oldest written constitution still in force in the world, and it starts out with three words, 'We, the people." - Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Day 7/100 #the100dayproject
Crazy weekend of kid things but I managed to get the heddles threaded.
I'm appreciating this project to make sure I spend SOME amount of time on this every day.
...getting the loom set up to weave takes just about the same amount of time as it takes to weave.

Day 5&6/100 #the100dayproject
I was offline yesterday for the #economicblackout so I've got a doubleday today.
Threading this has been a bit crazy, with 3 different warps and a bit of whimsical randomization.
Stay tuned to see how tangled, or not, this might get!

Day 4/100 of #the100dayproject
I'm adding some #blackandwhite to a white warp for this prototype. I'm going to play around with the placement to break up the symmetry.
Maybe throw in a bright streak. ❤️‍🔥

Day 3/100 #the100dayproject
I've decided to start a fresh warp for this project, requiring me to "unwarp" the warp board.

I don't work like this. I typically find a use for things, moving forward vs backwards.
But in undoing, I am moving forward with choice & free will. Unfettered

Miranda Caroligne @mirandacaroligne.bsky.social · Feb 26

Day 1: patterning. This idea sprung from a friend's description of a piece she has but would like to see it "in my version." Working on the loom requires a heck of a lot more planning than on the sewing machine, so I'm playing with paper to determine how long I want to make this.
The answer:
looong!

Day 1/100 #the100dayproject

My goal for these 100 days is to accomplish an idea that I've been pondering for over a year now. It's going to take a lot of time, which may be why I haven't committed to it thus far...

And what did you do to help in your local community?

If the answer is "nothing," I recommend seeking out your local Neighborhood Leader Program. It's easy to volunteer and increases voter turnout significantly.

Great article. I wish someone older had edited it for this superb author. Did anyone else pick up on the false parallel to September 11? Author must be too young to know that 911 emergency calls didn't exist at that time.

Miranda Caroligne @mirandacaroligne.bsky.social · Feb 20

I'll be having my first non-group gallery show for my art pieces this April. It's nice to have a reason to spend time making the ideas that have been bouncing around in my head all these years!

We renovated an entire rental house with Costco flooring, lighting, fixtures and even some furniture. Once I figured out that it's great quality, it was the first place we looked and SO easy!

I heard a convo that some were tolerable. It might have been on kara Swisher's podcast.

Still...Dems trying to play fair and reasonable in a sandbox full of snakes hasn't boded well.

Miranda Caroligne @mirandacaroligne.bsky.social · Feb 7

Thanks. I think they blocked me because I can't respond. But I did remove my quote in the repost. Thanks for the heads up. I was pretty sarcastic...not my best form. I'm just so sick of that narrative. It has led to the worst option for the Palestinian people. The irony breaks my heart.

Clearly he's in cahoots w/ Trump & it was just a grand political plan to plow Gaza into a Trump golf course. It's a Biden crime family investment. In "fact"...this whole multi-generational Israel Palestine conflict is a ruse. They get along great. Bibi and Hamas are innocent victims. 🤦🏼
