I probably won't manage to make anything new for #goblinWeek this year but I will take the opportunity to share the collage poem I made last year, since it is still one of my favorite things I've made

#collage #poem

Collaged text on lined paper which reads: goblin time It's time to talk about goblins. You know, a little wild, a little green, kind of like Muppets? Well, they need your help. Goblins in our community are suffering, exhausted by the internet, and want to snuggle in for their holiday hibernation. Your support is crucial in helping provide them with year-round access to their daily needs: Cuppa joe weird radish Waffle a cedarwood candle Please donate today. All gifts are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. $15 can help feed and vaccinate a goblin $25 can purchase them a cozy flannel nightie $50 can help them receive a lot of weird new bugs Any amount helps! Wrap a bit of cash in brown paper and place it in ANY garden on a crisp morning... we'll find it.

New #collage #poem, about climate change and planting seeds.

This is the second poem I've made by collaging together bits of text from an old econ workbook. (I'm planning to put them all together in a zine when I've completed a few more.)

The first poem, A Bad Dream, can be found here: https://emmajuettner.com/posts/a-bad-dream/

Collaged text on lined notebook paper reads: The Logic of Individual Choice. Suppose you are a novice gardener. The television reports pictures of melting ice and flooded areas. Warm weather arrives and Southern California experiences unusually high temperatures. A small city located by a lake has been dumping its raw sewage into the lake. You plant one seed in a flower pot and watch it grow. Your friend says, "Why are you wasting your time? You can't provide the world's supply of wheat berries in your little pot." You cannot produce 100 tons of wheat per day. However, you do produce a stalk of wheat with plump wheat berries. If the weather gets very hot, what will most likely happen? In the long run, what will happen? The next year, you plant two seeds in that pot.

New #introduction now that I've set up my own server— hello, I'm Emma! (previously @emmajuettner@mastodon.art; I'll be migrating my follows over to this new account shortly)

I tend to post about knitting, making collage poems, cooking, creating generative art, mending clothing, tinkering with HTML & CSS, and reading sci-fi stories.

I hope this email finds you lying very still in your bed, and looking surprisingly healthier than you looked the night before.

I was going through some old files and found this digital collage from a class I took in college. The vibe I was going for was "gender euphoria but make it pulp sci-fi aesthetic"

#collage #scifi

a collage resembling a pulp sci-fi cover. The text reads "Galaxy Science Fiction, September 1954, 35¢, The Self-Made Man by E.K. Juettner". There's a scientist who has removed one of his breasts to reveal circuitry and machinery underneath. In the background is an anatomical drawing in shades of orange and pink with nerves that look a bit like a tree

I crocheted a cable tie and now I can’t stop making them.

Bumblebee says howdy

I love it when they stick one of their legs straight out like this. Reminds me of so many things: riding a mechanical bull with one arm in the air, a ballerina stretching a leg straight up, a very friendly wave hello.

A bumblebee on a lamb's ear flower. The flower is fuzzy gray-green with purple bits. The bumblebee is fuzzy yellow on top, black on the bottom, and is sticking out one leg straight in the air as if exuberantly waving hello

Picked up an 80s paperback today that, based on the back-cover description, I was expecting to be an eco-thriller about corporate negligence leading to a public health catastrophe.... And it is that, but it turns out this book is also incredibly horny. I haven't even finished chapter two yet and there have already been multiple sex scenes

I stumbled across this 10-min short film on YouTube today: Gruff, by Julian Curi. It's really incredible— the animation is done with handcrafted paper puppets and props, with so much attention to detail. The story is also really touching (CW: parental death)

A square grid. Within each cell are circular arcs emanating from one of the corners. There's a gradient of colour from red on the left to blue/purple on the right.

A minor tweak to the charted design above makes for a true counterchange pattern. This chart can be used for a variety of hand crafts, not only knitting!

#knitting #FiberArts #ChartedDesigns

A drawing of how the Snowflake counterchange chart might look as two-color knitting. It looks like alternating columns of large beads on strings, where blue bead strings are nested between white bead strings. There are blue snowflakes on the white beads and white snowflakes on the blue.

I was going to go to bed on time this evening but then suddenly my brain decided I urgently needed to make some scratch paper notebooks out of junk mail envelopes... Now the hyper focus has worn off and I am very tired, thanks brain

(I am very happy about how the notebooks turned out, though)
