Knot Sew Crafty Gorgons Heather & Jesii

The Gorgons dig a little deeper into the world of video game crafting. Whether it's the OG Pets, Sims, Beta Minecraft, or Animal Crossing, we can't possibly cover it all.

This is probably one of the sillier episodes of the season. Kept very light and fun, the Gorgons talk about procraftination and how they've tried to overcome it.

This episode, the Gorgons go on a a little international, time traveling tour to talk about Memento Mori via Victorian Death Photography and Appalachian Death Culture.

The Gorgons spend this episode gushing about Heather's current crafty crushes, the Guerrilla Girls. Listen in to hear about this history of work that that Guerrilla Girls have been doing to call out problems in the Art industry, including racism, sexually predatory behavior towards art students, and other major issues particularly impacting artists of color, women, non-binary, and other marginalized groups.

Gorgon Jesii leads us on an campy adventure, focused on the history of Girl Scouts USA and the crafts that are oozing from that culture.
