If you ever thought that #crafts would be boring or asked yourself what you could do with #crochet - voilà!

I've spent much of today going through this incredible archive of work by British-Indian textile artist Surjeet Husain: https://surjeethusain.com/

If you’re interested in Indian embroidery — particularly kantha, phulkari, and mirror-work — this is a super-useful resource. (There are no instructions, but the photos are very clear.)

I found out about this via another South London artist, PiNS ( https://pinspired.com/ ) who I met at the Museum of Croydon many years ago. His work is very different, but also well worth a look.

Gold-threaded waves ripple beneath a xiezhi, its coiled horn catching the light against deep indigo silk. This mythical censor’s badge merges imperial authority with cosmic order—how does the creature’s stance reinforce its role as moral arbiter?

Went to the textile museum today which I really enjoyed. Highly recommend. In their gift shop you can buy scrap fabrics and notions and old patterns there too. The items are donated and the money raised goes to support the museum. They have free workshops too, one workshop was going on while there and it looked very friendly.

Finally got around to starting my part of the embroidery/woodwork collaboration I’m doing with @bob. I don’t have a plan for what comes next; I’m just doing what seems like it might be interesting.

Threads I’ve used so far are DMC soft cotton and DMC variegated floss. (I expect bob will probably reply to give details of the wood bit.)

The overall idea was inspired by seeing an article about Nosheen Iqbal’s embroidery-on-wood in the March/April 2026 issue of Embroidery magazine (NB there is more than one Nosheen Iqbal on social media — this one is noshii on Instagram).

I love weaving—and the history of fabrics is deeply tied to computing!

From the Jacquard loom (which used punch cards to automate patterns) to early computers like IBM's, textile technology laid the foundation for modern computing. Even Ada Lovelace recognized the loom's punch cards as an early form of programming.

This art by Irene Posch and Ebru Kurbak embroidered 8-bit computers into textiles—beautiful and thoughtful work that bridges craft and code.

Digging out stuff in my craft room, here’s my smocking pleater. I was gifted this by an aunt in the 90s. She was making art-to-wear jackets for upscale craft shows. I was in grad school, studying textile design. I got all manner of materials leftover and gizmos she tried.

She knew I was really into Ana Lisa Hedstrom’s work, and passed this pleater to me. I made a few gorgeous experiments but it’s a fussy device and replacement needles seem to only come from Australia.
