Look up 🙄


Dear Reader,

At a time when we look back to reflect over the past twelve months and look ahead with new year’s resolutions, wishes and expectations, I invite you to look up at the stars.

One of the experiences that I most miss living in the city is to be able to marvel at a night sky full of stars and the sense of infinity that it brings. Looking up and catching a glimpse of the universe is something that was taken for granted for centuries and is now a rare sight for many humans.

For this reason, I am working on creating a series of artworks that pay a tribute to the night sky by recreating a map of the different constellations at different times and locations on earth with the help of an interactive sky chart. This process allows me to learn about the different constellations that are now invisible to me in the hope to get familiar with this ancestral knowledge and visual reference.

Maybe, one day, I will be in a remote area, look up and no longer see something amazing yet strange and foreign but will recognize the many constellations that inspired scientific curiosity and so many stories in the past.

This project is at it’s early stages. Feel free to let me know what you think and share your experience of the night sky.

Wishing you warm and bright new year and until next time!

Dear Reader, Just because I haven't been posting much lately, it doesn't mean I haven't been doing much (I wish! I could use some idleness). While I continue stitching Chromascapes, I've also been experimenting with other techniques like collage and painting, and, of course, I draw; always: drawing is the mother of all creation. So here is a sneak peek into some of my recent experiments. I will leave it at that, because who has time to read! Enjoy! carolina

Infinite Threads Circle is back! Dear Reader, When we first started this Circle, it was a way to engage in textile art and provide an inclusive family friendly space where everyone can stitch without pressure to be perfect. But now, it's more than that. It's a privileged moment to invite you to connect to real threads and away from virtual threads. Today, more than ever, it's vital that we meet in spaces free from algorithmic moderation, AI interference or trolling. The Infinite Threads...

Dear Reader, Happy Gregorian New Year! I hope you had a good start to the New Year. But if not, no worries, there are plenty of opportunities to celebrate and renew your resolutions, always. As I take this time to celebrate that days are getting longer in the Northern Hemisphere, I appreciate that every time the sun rises is a moment of renewal. Here is a list of some of the upcoming New Years in the 2026. You can download it and keep it for your reference. It is by no means an exhaustive...
