Made a little travel tic-tac-toe game 🦖
Sewed a pouch, stitched the board onto it, and made a small army of clay dinosaurs. Once the match is over, they all go back into the bag and continue travelling together peacefully.

Here are a few piece of my work towards my Final Major Project at university. Inspired by works by Dana Awartani, this work is the ultimate culmination of my time studying Craft/Materials at AUP in Plymouth and was displayed during the Graduate Summer Show last year.
I thank @trinityfranklinphoto over on Instagram for helping me assemble some of these pieces and photographing them. She is a star and I'm truly fortunate to have someone of that talent in my life

My shampoo bottle boat got awarded at an expo, sitting on a simple stand, so I had to make something more appropiate: Floating dock/store, made from an old radio, ball pens, paint can lids and more. Plus tons of styrene. -

T.A.E.’s Book Review – The Craft & Art of Bamboo: 30 Eco-Friendly Projects to Make for Home & Garden by Carol Stangler
Carol Stangler’s The Craft & Art of Bamboo: 30 Eco-Friendly Projects to Make for Home & Garden is, at heart, a book about persuasion: it asks the reader to see bamboo not as a decorative novelty, but as a living medium with history, utility, and aesthetic dignity. The revised and updated 2009 edition presents itself as “a highly regarded introduction to the material,” one that offers “rich history, fascinating background and great projects,” and that framing matters. This is not merely a how-to manual; it is a conversion narrative in practical form, inviting the reader into an older, more ethical relationship with making.
What gives the book its distinct character is the way it balances romance and procedure. The publisher’s description opens with “beautiful, sustainable bamboo,” a phrase that already joins visual pleasure to ecological responsibility, and then moves quickly into the language of use: “harvesting, storing, and making things with bamboo.” That progression is revealing. The author does not let bamboo remain an abstract symbol of greenness; she insists on its material life, its handling, its resistance, its needs. The book’s appeal, then, lies in its double vision: bamboo is at once an emblem of harmony and a substance that must be cut, dried, bent, fastened, and preserved.
The project list confirms this hybrid ambition. The book promises “30 eco-friendly projects,” including “bamboo fences, trellises, chopsticks, teacups, and even an outdoor shower.” The range is striking because it moves from the infrastructural to the intimate, from garden boundary to tableware, from enclosure to ritual. In literary terms, the book stages bamboo as a material that crosses thresholds: between exterior and interior, craft and architecture, ornament and necessity. Even the improbable charm of an “outdoor shower” suggests bamboo’s capacity to transform ordinary domestic acts into something lightly ceremonial.
The book’s vocabulary further strengthens that impression. Its preview metadata is thick with technical terms—“culm,” “rhizomes,” “square lashing,” “metric equivalents,” “drill bit,” “sealer,” “pressure-treated,” “reed fencing,” and “bamboo lengths.” This lexicon matters aesthetically. It signals a text that respects craftsmanship as a language of exactness, not just inspiration. One could say Stangler writes in the idiom of the workshop rather than the showroom. The result is a style of practical knowledge that feels almost literary in its attention to named parts, precise motions, and the stubborn intelligence of materials.
As a reader, I find the book most compelling when it treats bamboo as both ecological resource and cultural form. Its promise of “lush photography and abundant illustrations” suggests that visual pleasure is not an afterthought but part of the argument: the book wants the reader to admire before they build, to understand with the eye as well as the hand. That is one reason the volume feels enduring rather than merely instructional. It belongs to a tradition of craft books that do more than transmit technique; they cultivate a sensibility, teaching that usefulness and grace need not be opposites.
In the end, The Craft & Art of Bamboo succeeds because it takes seriously the ancient, adaptable intelligence of its subject. It is practical without being dry, ecological without being preachy, and technical without losing a sense of delight. Stangler’s book reminds us that craft is never only about making objects; it is about learning how to see a material world already full of form, possibility, and restraint. Bamboo, in her hands, becomes a lesson in disciplined abundance.

I can't believe how smoothly this progress pride satchel went together. From the idea in my head to the finished article, the whole thing was a joy to put together.
No pattern to link you to, this is entirely of my own devising. It's the first in a series of pride flag bags I'm going to be making to sell.
This one will be in the shop soon, as will some other new things to go along with what's there already.

What Yarn Costs in Morocco vs the U.S. (Real Prices)
Since moving to Morocco, one of the first things I looked into was yarn—where to find it, what the quality is like, and how the prices compare to what I was used to in the United States.
If you crochet regularly, you already know that yarn cost matters. It affects what you make, how often you make it, and even the types of patterns you choose.
Here’s a realistic breakdown based on what I’ve seen.
Yarn Prices in the United States
In the U.S., yarn is widely available and fairly consistent in price.
- Basic acrylic (like Red Heart Super Saver): about $4–$6 per skein (~198g)
- That works out to roughly $2–$3 per 100g
- Mid-range yarns: $6–$12
- Cotton, wool, and specialty yarns: $10–$20+
The biggest advantage in the U.S. is convenience—you can usually find exactly what you need and restock easily.
Yarn Prices in Morocco
In Morocco, yarn is also easy to find, especially in places like Derb Omar in Casablanca, but pricing can vary more depending on where and how you buy.
- Standard pricing often starts around 20–25 MAD per 100g
👉 roughly $2–$2.50 USD - Prices can go higher depending on fiber type and thickness
- Bulkier or specialty yarns can get noticeably more expensive
Bulk Pricing (My Experience)
When buying in bulk, prices can drop.
In my case, I paid 20 dirhams (about $2 USD) per 100g skein.
This was a bulk price, and not necessarily what you’ll pay for smaller quantities. Prices per skein can vary starting from about $2.50 USD and can increase depending on the type of yarn, especially for thicker or higher-quality options.
So Which Is Cheaper?
When you compare directly, basic yarn prices in Morocco and the U.S. are actually pretty similar.
The difference isn’t so much the cost—it’s the experience.
The Real Difference
In the U.S., you can:
- Follow patterns exactly
- Use the same yarn brands consistently
- Easily replace yarn if you run out
In Morocco, you may need to:
- Work with what’s available
- Adjust your hook size or pattern
- Be flexible with yarn types and textures
What This Means for Your Crochet
This is where things get interesting.
Crocheting in Morocco encourages you to:
- Think in measurements instead of stitch counts
- Adapt patterns more freely
- Experiment with different yarns
This is one of the reasons I design patterns the way I do—so they work no matter what yarn you have access to.
Final Thoughts
Yarn in Morocco isn’t drastically cheaper than in the U.S., especially for basic options—but it offers a different kind of experience.
You trade convenience for flexibility.
If you’re willing to adapt and work with what’s available, you can still create beautiful pieces without needing the exact same materials every time.
