Feminist Art Club: Help a Sister Out

Posted on 02:01 by Unknown



M.K. Hajdin, who blogs as Exiled Stardust, has started a Feminist Art Club. Basically, those who can afford to help purchase art supplies then get a piece of feminist art in exchange or you can donate to help another feminist acquire a piece of Hajdin's art. I love this idea as a form of feminist activism; subverting capitalism by helping other feminists: 
Join my art club 
Like art?  Think you’ll never be able to afford any because it’s too expensive? 
Why not join my Twitter Feminist Art Club? 
It’s simple.  Follow me on Twitter and either donate things I need to make art or money to buy them with, get artwork in return or you can contribute to help another feminist acquire a piece of art.
It’s basically artistic socialism. 
I live on a very low income and everything helps, so if you like my site and want to support the cause  and/or help keep my cats fed. 

You can donate here. 



In the interests of full disclosure, this is the beginnings of my painting: 


I am very, very excited.

Mumsnet Woolly Hugs : Real Power of Sisterhood

Posted on 23:44 by Unknown

The Mumsnet Woolly Hugs are incredible. Mumsnetters give up their time and their talent to knit blankets for children with terminal illnesses, families in grief and those just needing a hug. The talent and the kindness of Mumsnetters who are involved is so inspirational. They are incredibly generous. 

This is the mission statement from their website: 
The beautiful blankets shown through this website have been made by a community of Mumsnetters wanting to show their love and support to fellow Mumsnetters and their families facing heartbreaking and devastating loss. Some contribute by crafting, others by donating funds or wool, all playing a full part,  It is hoped that the blankets can offer some comfort to the families. If they get one ounce of love from their blanket then it’s all worth it. 
The blankets have come to be known as Woolly Hugs.
This is the real power of sisterhood. Not all the women involved would define themselves as feminists but this is what feminist sisterhood entails: caring for other women. 


I've included some images of the beautiful quilts knitted by Mumsnetters:
