Fiber Fun at the Maker Faire

Submitted by Marina Salume on Wed, 05/23/2012 - 17:52


Of course, there were large metal monsters and sculptures that shot fire into the air--that's pretty much expected at the annual Maker Faire. But there were also lots of handmade crafts and textiles, plus free knitting lessons at The National Needlework Associations's booth.

Lovely costumes made for the Carnival of Venice.

Hmm, knitted grenades? These crafts were for sale in the Bizaare Bazaar tent.

Embroidered wood slices--tiny holes are drilled all the way through the wood, so the thread can be embroidered through the holes. Interesting idea!

This amazing installation had hundreds of tiny masking-tape structures covering the floor, and fabric-covered coat hangers covering the wall.

This year, I had time for a couple of classes, so I made a chain mail bracelet (this fellow is showing off the chain mail armor he has made using a similar technique) and a woven wire bracelet. The classes were only $10 each, including all the materials and tools needed.
The next Maker Faire is in New York, September 29-30--don't miss it!

You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

Creativity is just connecting

Submitted by Gujjar on Fri, 02/22/2013 - 02:18.

Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things.
