Some other little things I did recently. I have problems with that blog. I don't have a lot of friends and I always feel like I am speaking in the void. It disturbs me a little, with all my insecure complexes and phobia...

Anyway, for those few who read me, let me know what you think!! (is there a way to view a friends page or something like that???)

The adorable Liz at Yarn Botanika made a special post about the sweater I made with her wonderful handpainted merino lace yarn. I am really proud of the sweater (Go for Baroque pattern, from Happy Hooker), it was the first time I was working with fingering yarn, it is really nice!

So here is the sweater:




And here is the post:

And yes, my poor mannequin, named Toinette, has a wooden stick up her ass, because she is waiting for a better base, that will come soon, thanks to an amazing friend!

Some other works of mine:

Stars



I am not Jewish. I am “just” a goy. But those stars were asking me to be done.

I noticed lately more and more negationism, more and more people and groups saying concentration and extermination camps never existed, that Jewish people died of typhus during the WWII, that they were barely 3 millions and that is nothing compared to other mass killings (Stalin, Khmers …the list is long of course).

It was only 60 years ago and it begins to sound as if it has been 200 years ago, and it is beginning to be forgotten.
I noticed a lot of lack of respect for the holocaust. I noticed a lot of people using the words Nazi or fascist without knowing what they are referencing to.

We need to remember. 60 years is nothing in human history and we could stumble again and fall in those very dark ages.
Memory is what constitutes History, that is, our past and therefore our present and future. Denying the past will only make us repeat the same tragic mistakes and crimes.

6 millions people died in extermination camps. Jewish people carry the most awful lost in that count. I consider the holocaust to be the most horrible drama in human being history. The systematization of the killings, the destruction of each individual reduced to a number, the tag and number they were obliged to wear on their clothes and in their flesh: this is the most visible part of what I consider to be the most dreadful crime against humanity.

arghhh!

[I always avoid CSS when I do websites, it kills me. So now, I am completely dumb trying to change the template! I am not happy with how it looks and I don't know how to change the background!! ]

Anyhow, on a more positive note (I already started ranting...), here are some pictures of the Alchemy custom order on Etsy I just completed. I spent most of the month on it! It is the jacket the japanese girl wears in the Jim Jarmusch movie, Mystery Train.
