Fun Find | Tiny Pricks Project

As described on their website, “Tiny Pricks started as a public art project created and curated by Diana Weymar. Contributors from around the world began stitching Donald Trump’s words into textiles, creating the material record of his presidency and of the movement against it. Tiny Pricks Project holds a creative space in a tumultuous political climate. The collection counterbalances the impermanence of Twitter and other social media, and Trump’s statements as president, through the use of textiles that embody warmth, craft, permanence, civility, and a shared history. The daintiness and integrity of each piece stand in stark contrast to his presidency.”

Over time the movement has evolved into an array of political quotes, messages, statements, and opinions, as well as messages of peace, love, and inspiration. The creative process of stitching statements of importance that make us feel something, whatever that may be, continues to expand and grow in fascinating ways.
