Among the first class at Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin fellowship in the '30s was a Nicaraguan carpenter named Manuel Sandoval.
His name had been lost to history. But LA artist Ryan Preciado has resuscitated it for a show at the Palm Springs Art Museum.

Looking down on a white table top. There is a pile of beading supplies strewn about with some sense of order but mostly chaos. Centrally there are 2 glass and 2 plastic tubes of teal, yellow, orange, and black beads, piles of loose beads, red handled pliers and various WIPs in bright colors are on a rectangular green beading mat. To the right is a book open showing a black and white geometric pattern. Above the book is a beige saucer filled with more beads and a pair of small white scissors. There are little white scraps of string everywhere. Two yellow and white packs of needles are at the top corners of the image.
A hand with brown skin and short nails is displaying a square stitched WIP with teal, yellow, orange, and black beads sewn into a geometric design. The beads are 11/0 Miyuki Delicas. There are white strings coming out of various places on the piece. The piece is a little larger than a stick of gum. In the background is the same scene from previous photo but a little blurred.
Current beading chaos and a WIP! Making a Zapotec inspired badge in teal, orange, yellow, and black.

I also think it looks nice! It just feels less dense and very squishy compared to the other one. Maybe the swift is what makes the difference, I just hang my hanks off the back of a chair!
I love the turds and the candy jar!
Screenshot of an article called “UMMA’s La Raza art and media collective 1975 to today” highlights the pioneering work of a campus student group. Written by Drew Saunders published on Tuesday, January 21, 2025. There is a wide shot view of the exhibition showing green wall with a mural on the left and a black-and-white wall on the right with long tables spread across the room.
This is a really nice write up about La Raza Art and Media Collective show at UMMA in A2 pulp! Thank you curators David Choberka and Félix Zamora-Gómez and fellow artists & most badass role models George Vargas and Nicole Marroquin! 💪💘

Instructions for how to assemble a colonial heirloom rug and quilting hoop. The instructions are printed on a crumbling yellowed paper
Original shipping label with address blocked out by a blue sticky note. The address label read reads that it’s from Herrschners subtitle: “quality needle crafts since 1899” located in Stevens point Wisconsin.
A photo of the rug and quilting hoop parts ready to be assembled. The wooden pieces are made of a light colored wood.
Getting ready to begin a slow hand stitching project but first I have to clean/assemble this vintage floor hoop from Herrschners that a friend found at the Ann Arbor Kiwanis. I love getting to make Latinx/decolonial/liberatory works on something marketed as a “colonial heirloom” 😂
Willy Chavarría closing his debut fashion show in Paris with Bishop Buddy’s “Have Mercy” sermon, pleading for our trans community, immigrants, and humanity as a whole, is a testament to his genius and a powerful reminder of how he is keeping fashion relevant. www.youtube.com/live/aUHbJlz...
Ohh thank you! Hmm mine is the one on the left actually! When my LYS wound the cake for me they had the hank up on a swift and then used a ball winder. I wonder if changing my tension will change it, though I do try to keep it somewhat loose.
Two cakes of yellow-green yarn. The fibers on the left cake create a distinct diamond pattern vs the right cake has a very smooth even texture.
I’m stumped. Why does my yarn wound at a LYS vs wound on my ball winder look so vastly different? There’s no telling what my ball winder has seen in its day, I got it second hand off Craigslist!

Thank you very much! It is truly wonderful in person!
Hi! Yes it is! It’s in the Stenn gallery until June!
