It was life-affirming to listen to a cross-section of medievalists talk about their creative-critical projects - about making privately and publicly; for process or product; for earning, or joy, or necessity. Very grateful for @drlauravarnam.bsky.social and @hellomizk.bsky.social, and our GuMMies.

🌻Creators can apply for a table at the Indigenous Zine Fest here. The deadline to apply is May 1 🌻

I re-edited this video to show all the hesitations and ‘uhhhhh moments’ between the pen on paper moments. I find this stuff more interesting than the actual drawing bits now.

I will be thinking about the “everything but the actual drawing” video and what it says about how drawing actually feels and works for quite some time. Definitely worth a read!

LOOK AT THAT PIGEON! 😍

It has been quite some time since I finished a book in two days! This was exactly the bit of all-consuming escapism I needed.

Meet a Medievalist Maker: Clare Mulley — The Guild of Medievalist Makers “ Meet a Medievalist Maker ” is an ongoing series of blog posts introducing our members and the work they are doing. Each post is organized around our Four P’s: a project they are working on...

'[...] the canon takes on a malleable, almost organic quality, like a network of cells that keep self-replicating.'

Our latest Meet a Medievalist Maker blogpost is by the creative writer and performance artist Dr Clare Mulley, who writes about her experience responding to Völuspá 👇

Finding a time that works across multiple time zones is super difficult - we totally get it! Hoping to try some different times in the coming months!

I donned my Medievalist Makers Party Hat™️ (designed by the brilliant @eleanormaybaker.bsky.social) and we had a PAR-TAY! 🥳 By which I mean our amazing members shared their incredible work- wowee, I was blown away!!! 🤩🤯 The talent was Off The Chart!! Thank you all!

NOOOOOOO. No. 😳

Truly you have not LIVED until you have experienced #FlaxChat 😍

Such a good time at the @guildmedmak.bsky.social birthday zoom! We had a show-and-tell; I remain in awe our members’ creative work! Thanks so much to my co-founder creative-critical BFFs @eleanormaybaker.bsky.social and @drlauravarnam.bsky.social and to all our members! (The cats slept through it…)

ABSOLUTELY - it was a phenomenal concert!!

Product held nicely… 😂

Full setlist (minus the encore “Dancing with the Europeans.”

That was a PHENOMENAL show! Super enthusiastic crowd, minimal phone-filming, and an incredible performance!
