cover illustrated by Eloise RenoufTomorrow I will see the proofs from the printer, so this issue will soon be in physical form (shipping to subscribers the last week of March).
If you’re not a subscriber yet, may I ask—what are you waiting for?! This is lucky issue 13! It has amazing content (previews to come), shiny silver foil raindrops and a gatefold illustration special.
Here’s a glimpse into the layout for the abecedary spread for the forthcoming issue #13. As you can see, I just start with the letter A and go from there. Eventually, it all fits!
The cover of issue #13 is already in prepress though the interior of the magazine is still in design (less than ten pages to go!) I sent the cover out early since it will have a silver foil and will require a bit more time to complete.
I can’t believe I’ve done this over a dozen times now! That’s nearly 1500 pages of content {lovingly} curated, compiled, edited, designed, proofed and printed.
If you haven’t subscribed or renewed yet, it would be most appreciated!
I’m looking forward to featuring this project in more detail in issue #13!

There’s an intriguing collaboration going on down under: Clara Vuletich (profiled on one of the early issues of the magazine) has spending time at Harvest Textiles this month.
The residency will explore the concept of ‘local textiles’. Clara hopes to combine her knowledge of sustainable textile print and dye processes with her interest in new forms of design and community activity that promote ‘home-grown’ knowledge/skills and encourage well-being.
“We live in a globalised world where most of our clothing, textiles and objects are made abroad and we are disconnected to the making of most of the products in our lives,” says Clara. “How can we re-connect? The idea of ‘local’ has gained prominence in most urban cities with slow food, farmers markets, the sprouting of an urban agriculture movement and the re-emergence of independent retailers and companies, who offer us trust, loyalty and a sense of community. But what does this mean for textiles?”
(I’m excited to receive a package from Harvest to feature in issue #13.)
