#breadandroses

Happy Mountain Day from the mothership, my beloved #mohos! I hope you were able to have at least a moment to sit and look towards love and beauty and the wonder of the world today. It is needed, more than ever, right now. Today's work meeting at the MHC library serendipitously coincided with mountain day and it felt like a little more than luck. It also seemed like the right time to finally capture my #breadandroses tattoo in an #ootd, because of course. ⛰ 🍦 🥀 🌾 #fatshion #plussizefashion #psootd #eshakti #mhc #mountholyoke #mohome #mountholyokeforevershallbe #mountainday2017 #weirdcollegetraditions

Done!! I *loved* working on this bread and roses design from @giveastitchproject ! The proceeds from sales of this pattern went to the National Organization for Women. 🌹 🌾 The shading on the rose and bud we're done with three strands of dmc floss; the wheat was done with three strands, too, but SUPER SNEAKY, I used two light gold and one dark gold! Love the texture that added to the chain stitches. Ready to start the April design! #embroidery #embroideryart #breadandroses #giveastitch #craftivism #fundraiser #nationalorganizationforwomen #textiles #textileart #fibers #fiberart #surfacedesign

Hearts starve as well as bodies; give us bread 🌾 but give us roses 🌹🥀🌹 #laborday #proudunionmember #seiu509 #fromthepeoplewhobroughtyoutheweekend #mhc #mtholyoke #breadandroses #mohome

So, last November I got these tattoos. As a connection to the school where everyday I saw firsthand the power of uplifting marginalized voices, where I found my career in social justice, where I met people who I still stand in solidarity with against the forces that try to tear us down in a thousand ways. But it is also a commitment to everyday work towards abundance- so that we all, whether on a CEO salary or disability payments, have what we need not just to survive, but to thrive- bread for sustenance, but roses, because beauty and nature and the ability to afford even a small luxury beyond basic survival feeds the soul, and that is a basic human right. We are far from there, both @mtholyoke And the world as a whole, but I see it every day I go to work, and every day I scroll through my Facebook feed or have a meal with a friend. My love and solidarity to everyone fighting for equal access to both basic human dignity and the opportunity for passion and abundance. #giveusbreadbutgiveusroses #breadandroses #mayday #mtholyoke #tattoo #floraltattoo (photo from @aubreymennella since I have yet to get a real healed photo)

I'm fiiiiiiinally ready to start @giveastitchproject 's March design: Bread and Roses. And because I'm incapable of doing anything the easy way, I'm gonna embellish the original design with some stitched shading/filling. Been super inspired lately by @tessa_perlow @eradura and @ajpritchett . Are there other insta-embroiderers I should be following?? #embroidery #embroider #color #giveastitch #craftivism #breadandroses #supportwomen #nationalorganizationforwomen #textiles #fibers

Sometimes a little Hobo solves a thorny problem. #breadandroses #metaltype #letterpress #hoboftw #hobonation #mayday (at Tacoma, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc8rvYLPjQi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
