#meetthemaker2020

How it's made is today's #marchmeetthemaker. Well with alot of sampling, experimenting, pulling out, putting back in and still I'm probably not happy with it. But I love embroidery and would not have it any other way. This is a little step by step motif from my book, often seen on Chinese embroidered panels. #marchmeetthemaker #meetthemaker2020 #chineseembroidery #silkembroidery https://www.instagram.com/p/B-KgcvuHVpV/?igshid=12hjh3dbtrjvu

Meet the Maker, 3/20: Marketing Here's a pic of my somewhat unique business cards. I get these folded ones from PS Print and love them so much. They give me more space to put info on. I have photos inside of some of my products so people can remember why they grabbed my cards at events. The fold is a tabbed fold which means when it's closed the website still shows on the bottom. Best of all, when folded, it's still regular business card size. I have a lot of people who comment on how cool it is :) #kimchikawaii #marchmeetthemaker #meetthemaker2020 #marketing #smallbusiness #businesscards (at Davis, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B99fwH0lRKN/?igshid=11y8o9rntwzkc

Yesterday's #meetthemaker was change. Well currently we all have to embrace that 100% this week I taught the ft programme at the @royalneedlework remotely. We used google hangouts and it worked brilliantly. Thank you to @kate_artofstitch for the photo of me on her computer and her beautiful embroidered robin. #meetthemaker #meetthemaker2020 #embroiderytutorial #onlinetuition https://www.instagram.com/p/B-CHRESnwDF/?igshid=g17674scl2nc

#reducingwaste is the theme for #marchmeetthemaker today. In this little jewellery piece I have used an offcut of silk, very often they are from old sample books or dress making leftovers. I use beads that are from antique handbags that have just fallen apart which makes them really special as you can't buy these beautiful glass or metal beads very easily and in this case I have used a sequin made from an aluminium can. These sequins were made by the very talented @suepitkinartist . #meetthemaker #meetthemaker2020 #embroideredjewellery #upcycledjewellery #upcycledjewelry https://www.instagram.com/p/B9Y155_nPCd/?igshid=1vwpf2egqkz60

For the #meetthemaker #meetthemaker2020 and #meetthemakerweek At the age of fourteen I began to take photography seriously and above all to appreciate the magical moments that are generated when printing photographs in the dark room. Much later with a thesis written in Florence, I graduated in photo-journalism at the University of Bielefeld in Germany. I moved to Italy in 1986 and have lived a period of both real and internal travels. In fact, my works are visual travel diaries, basically self-portraits. In a sense, all my images and collages are self-portraits. In 1990, after a trip to Egypt, something changed. For the first time I felt the need to combine two photographs. I noticed that it was as if two images wanted to get next to each other, my gaze was already combining them in my mind. I printed the two images, cut the so-called “frame window image” and filled it with the “photo-scene”. The first photomontage was born and then the volume “From South to North - Sabine Korth” edited by Roberta Valtorta. For many years I taught  photography in different university settings in Florence and hold workshops on collage and experimental photography. A new chapter of my career found me connecting with therapeutical photocollage, thanks to @Judyweiser in Canada. Recently I focus mainly on my studio practice and offer workshops in Tuscany, in a beautiful setting in a small town on the mediteranen coast at #Piombino and online via AC Accademia Della Fotografia di Benevento and in private groups. Thanks @jimmyrivoltella for the b&w portrait and @lostudiolo for the workshop shot 😊✂️👋 (presso Piombino , Tuscany , Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHfGhVxjqnW/?igshid=1wbpzp8pux70j

Day 3 of @joannehawker 's meet the maker week is all about What's New for Christmas What's new this year (aside from my shiny pins and penguin pick me up bundles) is my attitude. Every year Christmas is a mad rush to do as much as possible in an extremely limited amount of time, this year I decided I need to try and break the pattern of the famine/feast nature of the industry I work in. This is why I chose to do a Kickstarter so late in the year, I'd rather spend time making things I enjoy at my own pace then scrabbling frantically to make enough to survive the lean months at the beginning of the year. I'm focused on creating ranges of things like the pins and notebooks that are in stock and I can pop them in an envelope and drop them in the post box. In short I want to work smarter and hopefully not be too pooped to actually enjoy the festive season for once! I'll let you know how that goes! Also new are my images... look at them shine! #meetthemakerweek #meetthemaker2020 #newforchristmas2020 #igotabrandnewattitude #worksmarter #pingame #penguins #penguinpins https://www.instagram.com/p/CHLSlonjMSU/?igshid=18lm1ftg259xv

Meet the maker week day 2: Pivot Today's #meetthemakerweek prompt is all about how changing circumstances have forced us to adapt. To be honest this weird year hasn't really made me change my plans too much. The only difference is I did an extra Kickstarter! I decided that I needed to create a daily Social Isolation Penguin post and that lead to a new kickstarter of mystery boxes, which lead to a new pin design. This year has really made me focus on making my product photos better (since you can't see them in person) making them clearer since my new phone has an awesome camera and using props to compliment them. I generally don't have a plan so didn't have to adapt too much... I basically like a puppy chasing ideas like bouncy balls! #meetthemaker2020 #meetthemakerweek #pingame #pingamestrong #penguins #penguinpins #pivot https://www.instagram.com/p/CHIpAYAjYD3/?igshid=1oskk6u7y2rew
