Sometimes I come to YarnLab and find things like this absolutely perfect spider-silk thickness spinning on the wheel and it's so wonderful all I can do is marvel at it. #DHmakes

@quinnanya.meUntil the AI Pants are done, we'll be displaying Michelle Ha's final project for Data Visualization with Textiles, where the mended holes represent past relationships and the embroidered stitches represent different toxic interactions. #DHmakes
@quinnanya.meWhelp, the legs have arrived at YarnLab today (for displaying the Pants Manifesto on AI and Education) but... um... suffice it to say the pants, cut to my size, are gonna be culottes on this thing. #DHmakes
@quinnanya.meSharing the Good Word of Broadsheets on my office door at Stanford. #DHmakes
@quinnanya.meCapturing the vibe of the @michelleb.bsky.social piece on craft and websites beautifully. #DHmakes
@quinnanya.meSome beautiful words about, essentially, websites as a form of craft that we don't have to surrender. Some beautiful words if they speak to the #DHmakes letterpress friends as well, since so many of us came here via a route that started with websites.
@quinnanya.meAnother Tuesday putting in a little time as the Human at the Loom for a campus art exhibition. The piece I was noodling on last time is already hanging, and today I wove this very loose swishy thing in yellow that feels autumnal. #DHmakes
@sararribas.bsky.social#DHMakes free day=crafty day. Trying new things with textiles!
@quinnanya.meThis is beautiful and I hope the fish find a good public home to remind people what we can do together.
(Also gotta turn my bag of misprinted whistles into sea life!) #DHmakes
@literaturegeek.bsky.socialQuick letterpress-luminaria prototype to test the mulberry paper opacity & floral wiring ("I hope you let in your own light" quotes a good @bessbell.bsky.social essay) #DHmakes
@anasalter.bsky.social[email protected] and I are about to run our Critical Making workshop at @scholarslab.bsky.social at UVA! We'll be playing with Twine, Tracery, and P5.js while thinking about material interfaces and the impact agentic AI tools have on these platforms. anastasiasalter.net/unmaking/wor... #dhmakes
@literaturegeek.bsky.social#DHmakes <3 analog craft exercises for learning digital scholarship methods:
@quinnanya.meI cut the holes for the @neh-odh.bsky.social canceled grants yesterday and realized when you have too many same-sized canceled grants too close, the tiny snipped warp threads fall out. Apt, and not something I would have thought of before doing it. #DHmakes
@quinnanya.me3.5 hours, got through one stitch on the embroidery sampler project. 🫠 Felt like time to call it quits for the day. #DHmakes
@markalanmattes.bsky.social@quinnanya.me
@quinnanya.meEnvious that Fry gets all the attention from the #DHmakes friends, Kiki goes for some innovative craft disruption by adorably chasing her tail around on some fabric I need to be cutting for the AI Pants Manifesto.
@sims-mss.bsky.socialTomorrow at Noon EST, in her talk in the series From the Kislak Stacks curator @leoba.bsky.social will use two recent acquisitions to discuss critical making and how Kislak collections can inspire creativity. Register here: https://bit.ly/4yI5aVA #medievalsky #DHMakes
@quinnanya.meGrab your needles for an online workshop on data visualization with embroidery! 🪡 #DHmakes
@jofrankie.bsky.socialStill a few more slots in my Data Visualization with Embroidery workshop next 10/15 in the DH Lab at Alexander Library, Rutgers. I'll be preparing supply kits for in person attendees (online attendance is possible too). 🥰 🧵🪡 libcal.rutgers.edu/event/17621114 #criticalmaking #dhmakes
