Rayna Fahey's cross stitched fence in Footscray.
Did anybody watch Making It Handmade last Sunday night?
It follows a group of Melbourne women who are using craft, once part of a woman's home duties and now a lifestyle choice, to say something about themselves and the world.
The rockin' Rayna Fahey, explains how she uses craft techniques and cross stitching to “come up with creative solutions for the crisis we face on this planet.”
What I loved about it, was the chance to see women who want to change things, alter perceptions and fight injustice, and who do so in a totally unique, peaceful, rootsy, hardcore but ultimately feminine way.
I so often ponder my own perceived lack of power to change things, but seeing the way these women approach activism is truly inspiring. They're not in your face, they're not aggressive, they're not traditional, boring or money raising.
They are everything woman represents.
Nurturing, creative, loving, thoughtful and smart.
And they're making the world a better place using all those qualities.
Go Girls!!
Watch this doco on iview if you can.
