#flour sack

[arctic-hands]

I know no company has ever really truly cared about anyone under capitalism, but you know how during the Depression, flour sellers realized people were using the cloth sacks the flour came in as cheap fabric to make clothes out of, and so then they started selling the flour sacks with pretty patterns on it so people wouldn't feel embarrassed about wearing flour sack clothes?

If a company did that today they'd jack up the price of flour to obscene and beyond cost to justify the "act of helping people"

Productive day today! (ignored all my math homework for thus drawing session, nice)

so I (almost) finished this animation exercise!

I still have to add in details in this one, show that the pool's frozen somehow, and draw some simple background

and I started this one!!

I've always wanted to animate some crazy ass chase scene, so right after two ball bounces and two flour sack jumps, I felt confident enough to make a dynamic run cycle IN PERSPECTIVE because why not

oh man, I feel like I overestimated myself again but let's go, I guess

that'll keep me busy for the next few days, that's for sure

In this video, shared July 16, Athar shows how she is reusing four sacks as a rug for her tent. She encourages others to use this method in their tent, as the flour sacks are made from water resistant and easy to clean material.

Flour sacks have a history of being upcycled. In the early through mid 20th century, flour sacks were made out of cotton. Women in poor rural communities in the United States, especially during the Great Depression, used this cotton fabric to make clothes, rather than throwing away good material. This refashioning method was also popular during WWII and in the postwar years. Check out this dress from the Smithsonian--that was a flour sack!

Athar is on Instagram @ athar_abo_rabea. She has a Go Fund Me which you can view here.

Available Go Fund Me campaigns for people whose stories have been shared on watermelllonarchive can be found in the resources post.

Flour Sack animation from last year, my first ever finished animation babyyyyy

[shelliegarcia]

Some of my latest print experiments that are in my Etsy shop currently. I love printing. I made these from rubber block. The register is much better and easier than printing with linoleum. So I’ve opted to use rubber since I don’t have a big press and it’s a lot of work using a baron. If you know you know.
