Dr. Amanda Wyatt ViscontiRecent <a class="hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23DHmakes" target="_blank">#DHmakes</a> lasercut letterpress blocks I made & can share now that I've gifted: a Vandercook "worm" (tight oscillator swapin by Cory Wasnewsky) worm (Shina wood); & a scattering of 6 BookBeetle beetles from Josef Beery's logo art (acrylic):

Quinn DombrowskiThe <a class="hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23DHmakes" target="_blank">#DHmakes</a> tool that won the prize for getting me a thorough backpack search at the airport is... A needle pusher! And this is how I found myself explaining how knitting machines work to a TSA agent today.

Quinn DombrowskiIt has been a surprise and delight to discover that the whole "badge" thing at DEF CON is akin to <a class="hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23DHmakes" target="_blank">#DHmakes</a>. Some of the examples I've seen are amazing. The badges for the Gothcon party are Tarot cards doled out in sealed envelopes so your draw is a surprise.

Dr. Amanda Wyatt ViscontiLasercutting letterpress moveable type experiments, continued: thinner acrylic curved during cutting (hot water+pressure helped straighten it mostly), thinnest acrylic didn't engrave as deep as expected vs previously (maybe lasercutter needed cleaning) <a class="hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23DHmakes" target="_blank">#DHmakes</a>

Quinn DombrowskiHastily threw some yarn in my suitcase for conference knitting and settled on a striped sweater pattern... But then I thought, wouldn't it be more fun if those stripes were data? So now I'm digging through 7 years of email looking for funding sources and numbers for the Textile Makerspace. <a class="hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23DHmakes" target="_blank">#DHmakes</a>

Quinn DombrowskiSome marvelous pretty things from my visit to the TC2 digital loom, which I'll be learning to use in a couple weeks. 🤗 <a class="hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23DHmakes" target="_blank">#DHmakes</a>

Quinn DombrowskiIt's going to take a while to fully move our yarn craft materials into the new YarnLab space but today I brought over enough to call it ours, including a few textile dataviz pieces (the scarf of held and canceled meetings, and a weaving of time and text threads). <a class="hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23DHmakes" target="_blank">#DHmakes</a>

Quinn Dombrowski<a class="hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23DHmakes" target="_blank">#DHmakes</a> This is beautiful. (Also I'm super looking forward to going to <a class="hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23DEFCON33" target="_blank">#DEFCON33</a> this week... though the struggle of how many hand-crafts to pack is real.)

Quinn DombrowskiThe <a class="hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23DHmakes" target="_blank">#DHmakes</a> data I don't have and wish I did is how many times some of this yarn has gone through the "Oh no, I'm out of space at [office/home], better bring it to [home/office]!" cycle. Here's hoping the new yarn-focused space fixes that problem!

Quinn Dombrowski15 hours on campus yesterday, but I'm almost done with my first little project on the floor loom. And some exciting news for the Textile Makerspace: we're moving and expanding our yarn-based crafts to a much bigger space & refocusing on sewing in our original room. 😍 <a class="hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23DHmakes" target="_blank">#DHmakes</a>

Dr. Amanda Wyatt ViscontiFor Penland class trying weird letterpress methods w/o breaking the press, IDing materials w/neat textures+OK to ruin w/ink+heavy pressure, to press into wax altering type's surface or print backgrounds. Eg carpet sample, bubble wrap. So far I've got wovens: used-up n95s, cable wrap. Ideas? <a class="hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23DHmakes" target="_blank">#DHmakes</a>
