Anyone else remember these huge pieces of entertainment furniture that everyone seemed to have? Turns out they can find some new life.

A very intriguing old jeans reusing project: a pillow cover with ombre hexagons by Cristina Garay at Remodela Casa. Kudos!

This is not The End

It is entirely overwhelming, the state of the world. Climate Change, political corruption, corporate dystopia, hate and violence. It takes me by surprise how even knowing about a refugee on the other side of the world being sent back can affect me.

It is not The End. Even in an utterly worst case scenario, like nuclear war, it's not The End. There would be survivors, and those survivors would do everything they can to survive. But that's worst case, and we're far from that.

You've got a sense of powerlessness. You can't make Musk or Murdoch or The Koch's or a screaming orange colostomy bag stop what they're doing.

You know what you can do? You can put out the recycling for collection. You can compost your left overs in a tiny bin in your kitchen. You can feed that plant by your window that's by all accounts is already dead. You can sew a patch onto your torn trousers. You can give your friend, neighbour, or stranger, a potato. Or a joke. Or a bit of advice you learned to be effective. You can find an old book on carpentry, and learn how to fix that creaky step in your apartment.

But why do any of this while the world is burning? It is a complete waste of effort and energy, right? It may be. Maybe there will never be enough of us to turn the world around. So why even try?

Because you are a world. We see things from our own point of view, where we are at the center. At that may sound selfish or egotistical. Don't do the good things for the other world, do it for your own world, and how you build it. Do the things that make your world better, your mind, your body, your home.

Build the bridges to other worlds. To your friends, your family, your lovers, your children, even to strangers. When you've gotten your world stable, help them with theirs, and maybe they'll help you too.

Make the nice food for yourself. Maybe share it. Ask if anyone wants your old clothes, even just rags. They might have a use for them. Keep the empty bottle in your pocket till you find a bin, or even collect others. Pull out the weeds. Put on sunscreen. Fix your umbrella. Look at all the photos you've taken. Read. Learn. Try. And do not fear failure. Absolutely no one is immune to failure. No one. Embrace the mistakes you make. Make them again. And again. Get it right and make a mistake again. You are your own world that you can control and influence. And even if there aren't enough of us who try to make the world a better place, we'll have made our own better, and shown others they can too.

A Favour For A Friend

A few months ago, a friend asked if I could make her a book. I love her dearly, but fanfic is not her thing. She is deeply, endlessly fascinated by what her friends are passionate about though, and has heard about my new obsession with fanbinding as it’s evolved. Her “fandoms” include beekeeping, knitting, and environmental activism. Her request? A long article on climate change, so she could read it offline.

The end result was ninety pages, using an assortment of reused and repurposed material. 

The text ornament images are all from the Biodiversity Heritage Library.

The links all became footnotes. Did I regret my choices halfway through? Maybe. 

The binding is in Coptic stitch, and was the project where I figured out what I’d been doing wrong attaching the second cover. Success!

The cover material is some of my wife’s cast-off pieces of gel plate printing, acrylic paint on paper and tissue. The text block paper is 30% recycled copier paper, the boards are scavenged out of discarded library books that were headed for recycling. The thread was some cotton remnants from a project I was working on at the weaver’s guild.

It was a good chance to try something a bit different, and a project to take on as I worked up the nerve to try casebound books. And the recipient was thrilled, so I’m calling this one a win!
