Employees wielding devices milled around what was once the cash wrap, and when I walked up with an impulse purchase, they were happy to help me. But then the device didn’t work. So the “cashier” went into the back to get a new one. I waited patiently. That one didn’t work either. I offered cash, but she couldn’t take it. And in that moment my desire to impulsively make this purchase disappeared. The employee tried to con- vince me that it would be just “one moment more” as I watched the device slowly boot up. In the end I walked out empty-handed. Technology is great. It’s necessary. It’s crucial for small businesses. But we can’t be completely reliant on it. We must learn how to be flexible, use the technology to augment our ways of doing business, not rule it. I recently listened to a podcast about automated, driverless vehicles. The theory is that someday we will not own cars; instead the streets will be filled with driverless cars that we can get in and out of like ongoing taxis. It’s appealing, of course, but it’s also a little daunting. I’m not sure the world is ready to make that shift. And that is, I think, where yarn comes in. People embrace knitting and crocheting on the cover so they can do things for themselves, with their own hands. Yet yarn lovers have always BULL’S-EYE! been early adapters of technology—among the first to embrace blogging and to find Hit the mark with any one of the dozens of tweedy colors available in ways to use the Internet to enhance the wider yarn community rather than fragment it.

  • 4-H Crocheting Project Member Guide
    4-H Crocheting Project Member Guide Crocheting is one of the oldest needlework arts. To crochet means to form yarn or thread into a fabric using a hook. Its name comes from the French word croche, meaning “hook.” The crochet hook was one of many tools first used to make delicate lace. As time went on, more stitches and designs came into being, and crocheting became a separate art. Crocheting appeals to many people because it can be used to make a variety of creations, such as scarves, caps, vests, sweaters, purses, belts, lace, doilies, tablecloths, afghans, pillow covers, and bedspreads. In the 4-H Crocheting Project, you can learn to: • Crochet articles for yourself and others • Select, use, and care for crocheting tools • Work and share with others in your club • Keep simple records of your project and activities The 4-H Crocheting project is divided into six phases. Skills to learn and suggested articles to make are on page 2. Your club leader will teach you how to do basic crochet stitches and help you find patterns to use as you learn. When you reach the advanced phases, you’ll need to choose patterns from a variety of pattern books, needlework books, and magazines. You can find these at newsstands, notions counters, fabric stores, or specialty shops that sell yarn and thread. If you want to show others what you learn in the Crocheting project, check with your leader about exhibiting articles at fairs or other community events. If you make an article to wear, you might like to model in your county 4-H fashion revue.

  • With Dada and Pop Art Influence
    With Dada and Pop Art Influence The non-art movement • 1916-1923 • Reaction to the horror of World War I • Artists were mostly French and German. They took refuge in neutral Switzerland. • They were angry at the European society that had allowed the war to happen. • Dada was a form of protest. • It’s intention was to provoke and shock The name “Dada” was chosen because it was nonsensical. They wanted a name that made the least amount of sense. • They used any public forum to spit on: nationalism rationalism materialism and society in general Mona Lisa with a Mustache “The Fountain” “The Bride Stripped Bare by her Bachelors, Even” George Groz “Remember Uncle Augustus the Unhappy Inventor”(collage) Raoul Hausmann “ABCD” (collage) Merit Oppenheim “Luncheon in Fur” Using pre-existing objects or images with little or no transformation applied to them Artist use borrowed elements in their creation of a new work • Dada self-destructed when it was in danger of becoming “acceptable.” • The Dada movement and the Surrealists have influenced many important artists. Joseph Cornell (1903-1972) became one of the most famous artists to use assemblage. His work is both surreal and poetic. A 3-D form of using "found" objects arranged in such a way that they create a piece of art. The Pop American artist, Robert Rauschenberg, uses assemblage, painting, printmaking and collage in his work. He is directly influenced by the Dada-ists. “Canyon” “Monogram” “Bed” “Coca-cola Plan” “Retroactive” • These artist use borrowed elements in their creation to make a new work of art! • As long as those portions of copyrighted works are used to create a completely new and different work of art it was OK.
