i came across your post of the beadwork you made with the safety pins and it lit up a part of my brain, can i ask how you made them and where you looked to learn, im itching to try and make something like that myself. peace and love <3

hi! i made them using the square stitch technique, you can find tutorials on youtube like this one. an alternative is to weave them on a bead loom, which i've also done and creates an almost identical effect, but i prefer the off-loom technique as i find it creates a neater finish

i use size 11 toho seed beads and either fireline or miyuki nylon beading thread, and the safety pins are speciality gold plated ones i found at a local jewellery supply shop irl

the designs themselves i made using grid paper while referencing historical weaving and embroidery drafts found on museum sites, ex. the digitaltmuseum norway

Coppicing, a traditional forest management method dating back to the Neolithic period, involves periodically cutting trees to the ground level, taking advantage of their ability to resprout. This technique allows for cyclical harvesting of wood, providing a stable supply of firewood. Despite its decline with the advent of fossil fuels, there has been a recent resurgence in coppicing for its benefits to biodiversity and as a sustainable fuelwood source.

Don't mind me nerding about christmas traditions and Yule. I know it's not christmas but here we go.

A great way to scarr kids during christmas is to use uncanny masks when dressing up as Santa or dress up as a historical Yule goat :''3 Pick your poison I guess :'3

The Yule goat photo is from a website with historical photos from Swedish museums that has been collected and put in different categories. From what I gather in the photo the peoplare dressing up as different characters connected to the Yule celebration before Santa took the role as a gift bringer. Before we stopped using the Yule goat there was a time when both Santa and the Yule goat was used. Julbock med sällskap tagen vid Bollnässtugan, Skansen. - Nordiska museet / DigitaltMuseum Elso Beskow was a Swedish childbook author who portrayed the tradition of dressing up as the Yule goat in her book Petters och Lottas jul - Petter's and Lotta's christmas. The book follow the two children Petter and Lotta who celebrate christmas with aunt Brown, aunt Green, aunt Lilac and uncle Blue. Uncle Blue dress up as the Yule goat. Doing this he accidently scare Petter and Lotta who hide under the table.

Over here we still have goat symbols during christmas. To this day some people have goats made of hay or wood as decorations.

There is also a lot of artwork where the scandinavian version of Santa use a goat instead of reindeers. The Swedish Jenny Nyström was a famous artist who created a lot of christmas themed artwork with Santa as well as the Yule goat and to this day her art is used for christmas card. Her portrayals has a few elements of red and her drawings had a big influence of how people tend to view old school Santa.

Another artist who made a living out of christmas themed cards was Lars Carlsson and his work can be found today as well.

And then we of course have the famous Gävle goat who is a large hay goat. The goat is heavily guarded and each year there is a new attack to destroy it while people from all around the world hold bets on how long it will stand. My friend had a theory that the goat is meant as a sacrifice to bring a better new year and maybe she is on to do something because horrible things has happened the past years when it survived christmas. Who knows?
