Where were you in 2011?

This blog has not being updated as a blog from quite a long time, so, meanwhile I do (not necessarily) think about what to do with this site, I thought to share some things I did last year.

Inspired by the work of Anastassia Elias, me and Tso made a paper roll installation for a disco night here in town.

I tried to do something different with a bunch of my postcards laying around.

With Tso again, we made a book for Edizioni Fantasma’s project. We decided to refer to our collaboration as Carmen Praxedes. We eventually abandoned the book around, as the project required.

I started 365at5. Only one month left till the end now!

I got to see J Mascis play.

I made a cheap chain necklace based upon a beautiful one my mom made about 30 years ago.

I put my embroidery machine at work again.

Together with my knit/crochet squad, we set up some thread scenery in the woods.

I visited Rome’s Botanical Garden, at last.

My very very favourite cafe/library closed, so the knit squad and I made some gifts to the survivors, as something fun to remember.

I worked on the redesign of a friend theatre group: Teatro Pantegano.

I was told to play harmonica, but I tried with no success.

I walked in the woods with some friends.

I put together the knit squad mascotte for this year. It’s still without a face! Divo and Sgonfio are past years mascottes.

Hopped on a horse again, after so long.

Made some theatre shooting for a friend. Several years had passed from the last time.

I drew a sad face, trying to make less sad faces myself (fail!).

I went to New York! Last time was in 1998. I had never seen it during autumn, it’s super.

I started A Step Behind, in addiction to my eyes diary.

Printed few analogic photos (some are very old) for Analogica.

Found a pop-up card I made in 2004.

Machine embroidered some shoppers, sewed by a friend, for Alpacha distro.

Tried some crocodile stitch.

That’s all folks! See you around, mostly on flickr, tumblr or facebook (also twitter if you like).

Non riesco neanche a dire quanto mi piace quello che fa Logan McLain. Bisogna accontentarsi di guardare i suoi fantastici disegni ricamati.

The intention for this project was to make sound visible. As there is already a variety of ways in which sounds can be seen (equalizers, sub-titles, etc.), my aim was to produce a device where that representation of sound would be a physical one. I therefore used the sewing machine as the basis for the project as I feel it is synonymous with industry, and making physical products. Due to limitations in my computer programming skills this model of a stereo/sewing machine is a prototype of how I imagined the actual product would look. (…)

Softies for your mood

Softies for your mood

Sono arrivati i melmini. Dall’idea e dai primi prototipi ne è passata di acqua sotto i ponti: alcuni di loro sono andati in esplorazione oltrefrontiera, altri si sono mantenuti entro i confini migrando verso luoghi più balsamici, altri ancora si sono fatti una vacanza, oppure hanno provato terapie alternative, non prive di vantaggi pratici.
Triste o felice? Sei tu che scegli.

♥ Transparent screens pool on Flickr (I love this and this)

The first edition of melmino softies is here. From the idea to the first prototypes, many things have happened: some melminos have migrated to other countries, others have found new home without having to learn a new language, more others had a trip, or have tried alternative medicine, with some innegable and useful results.
Are you happy or sad? Your melmino has to know.

I’m a teaser baby so why don’t you kill me

I’m a teaser baby so why don’t you kill me

Un teaser è quando non hai tempo o meglio non ti prendi abbastanza tempo di qualità da dedicare all’aggiornamento del sito e vorresti mettere delle foto e dei cosini che hai fatto già da un bel po’ ma non ci riesci. Ochei, diciamo che questo è il mio personale concetto di teaser, magari.

♥ Sandrine Pelletier

Running behind is one of my most favourite activities in everyday life. That’s why I need to put a teaser here for something that awaits from nearly 3 weeks to be uploaded on the site. I think this little group of somethings are trying to talk, just to insult me!

San Melmino Martire

San Melmino Martire

Here’s the alternative use I thought about.

Nessun melmino è stato maltrattato durante queste sessioni fotografiche. È tutta agopuntura. Sta essendo agopunto.

Melmini a porter

Melmini a porter

Some more happy/sad double faced melmini. They fit well in a pocket, actually they might ask you to be carried around. They are curious to view the world from your perspective.

They are already assigned to some people I want to send, except of one, maybe, that I will put eventually in the shop. I plan to make more for the shop, though.

They can be used as voodoo dolls pincushions as well! :) I guess the sad side is better for this purpose. I have never made a pincushion before, but writing this now, I think that if I’ll ever make one, that would be a voodoo doll. Definitely.

A couple more pictures on my flickr page.

Are you happy or sad?

Sei tu che scegli.

Fatto pensando ai bambini in generale e a due in particolare. Altri sono in arrivo, insieme alla messa online del mio sito (si spera) e al restyling del blog pure.

Ledis end Gentelmen: Il Mostro

Ledis end Gentelmen: Il Mostro

No, no. Non è lei. Il Mostro è la mia nuova macchina da cucire, che, se dotata di telaio da ricamo, può fare cose abominevoli, tipo questa qui sopra. Io ancora non ci credo, ogni tanto mi vado a riguardare questo ricamo e lo confesso, mi commuovo. Capite, è una macchina. Una macchina fa queste cose. Fa quello che le dici tu, piuomeno come glielo dici tu (dipende dal tono che usi, si insomma, da come la tratti). Eppoi parla col computer. Le mie due macchine preferite si scambiano confidenze, interagiscono, si salutano. Gente, cosa posso volere di più?
Se impara a camminare però scappo di casa.
