#DHmakes 🌈💖 ad hoc colorful in-class book binding!
A tiny tablet weaving in blue with different colors of blue beads
A tiny crochet with lots of stitch markers and a note "WIP please don't touch thx"
Guest-taught weaving in a data science class, and somehow in the time it took me to go get lunch, someone had come and made a little thing and disappeared.
Sometimes I would like to just live in YarnLab. #DHmakes
I’ve posted the text of my talk from today’s DH Day at Purdue: “Anemoia, AI, & Skeuomorphism” is part of a longer piece I’m working on that tries to theorize the current “Material Turn in Digital Humanities”—essentially: why are so many DH folks printing & making & crafting? #dhmakes
The objectively correct sock for the moment. #DHmakes
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy would almost certainly endorse making towels in the face of the apocalypse. #DHmakes
These are excellent mice. 🐭 The day needs more mice. #DHmakes
What a beautiful example of someone taking unloved objects and putting care and craft into them to give them new lives. Am reminded of this patch I need to sew onto my bag as a reminder. #DHmakes
Quinn wearing a black hat, gray and white mask, blue hand embroidered shirt, colorful woven scarf, pants that look like they're embroidered with mountains, and awesome shoes that are a mix between witch and knight boots. Right panel is close up of the boots.
Early early this morning, before I read any news, I grabbed my favorite things for the day. Data-embroidery shirt, new textile dataviz scarf, Adventure Hat, faux embroidery mountain pants, and the new shoes that were a birthday gift to myself, witch/knight goodness. #DHmakes
Consigned, everyone everywhere with their own weird, wonderful little crafts. #DHmakes
In the process of putting the Examples page together, I ended up taking a trip down memory lane of projects I'd never written up, like embroidering word occurrences at Lab Day 2024. #DHmakes
If you like data, or making things with textile crafts (sewing, knitting, crochet, weaving, etc.), I've finally written something up about data visualization with textiles. More words coming over the next few months! #DHmakes
A balloon artist with a giant hunky Balloon Jesus on his back, overlooking the skyline of San Francisco. Balloon Jesus's loincloth feels evocative of a Palestinian flag.
Happy Easter from San Francisco, where Balloon Jesus is especially buff this year. #DHmakes
I like how these combine fun, food, experimental printing, & potential for antifascist text ⬆️ If anyone in #DHmakes wants to join in May 2nd using your own non-print (or print!) method, please do! (It's Print Day as the motivator, but just all sharing a little art/craft on a theme is my real hope)
A good thread with some reminders about how even "simple" articles of clothing are (still!) made by people, and LLMs are not like sewing machines. #DHmakes
1st Saturday in May is an annual, international Print Day where folks share (art) printing work on social media. I'll be printing+tweeting (maybe extra process photos throughout?); if other folks want to print & share that day, that'd be fun! (May we could do a mailed print swap after?) #DHmakes
A rainbow and trans pride flag yarn cardigan in progress, along with a water bottle full of coffee, and a public outdoor pool in the background
It's a beautiful Saturday for knitting a Pride cardigan at the pool. #DHmakes

Photo of a large (~13x19") wood board that's had multicolor acrylic triangles glued in a border around its edges, with the center empty; some penciled guidelines are visible on the wood. In the middle of the board is a clear plate holding 6 sad-looking bagel-bite puzzas, their cheese still basically cubiform and unmelted.
Closeup photo across the printing board. Part of a large (~13x19") wood board that's had neon translucent multicolor acrylic triangles glued in a border around its edges, with the center empty; some penciled guidelines are visible on the wood.
Photo from last August of a piece of cardboard glued with a thinner border of similar triangles, this time made from craft foam. They've been raised type high on a wood board on a printing press, and inked in a gradient of orange and bright yellow.
Photo of a print made from the craft foam border: white paper with gradient yellow to dayglo orange triangles around the edges. There is also a faint dotted-grud pattern in orange, from a separate printing pass using anti-bird netting mounted type high.
Still life with sad bagel bites & happy letterpress party board 🎉 (I lasercut the acrylic triangles in the fall, but didn't glue them on until today). It's a more reusable version of a background printing thing I made from craft foam last fall (photos 3-4). #DHmakes
Anyone in need of stitch markers for their knitting? 😍 🐝 #DHmakes

It was a good day at YarnLab with a new loom joining the family. Hideo Mabuchi's AVL CompuDobby loom will be joining the YarnLab jack loom for use in his weaving class this spring and beyond. #DHmakes
"Something dumb that also took a lot of time" is such a relatable tale. Especially with a subtext of "nevertheless it brings me joy". #DHmakes 💖 🦆
So here I am, experimenting with layouts, photos, and designs… and also thinking through what happens if I can’t use these images in the final piece. #DHMakes
Lately I’ve been working on the legend design for my String Data Art piece on Las Golondrinas. The idea is to create colored panels featuring the artists’ photos. Thinking of the legend not just as a key, but as part of the visual narrative. #DhMakes
