Hi all – yes its true – cyberdiva is taking a break – the digital performative stuff on various sites lie frozen and when my accounts are reactivated or I begin to inhabit the spaces again – you will see what I am doing and thinking more than you’d like to – once again.

Those of you attending some of the summer conferences that I am will see me face to face – maybe.

Email will be replied to less frequently than ever before since cyberdiva was “born”.

thanks for your patience!

Radhika

p.s – I do cheat sometimes because my droid phone will automatically upload images to my google account and tempt me to share – and I do still stream images in some other places – but not interactive – not much. Meanwhile – people will just have to find me on my blogs, maybe call (while travelling I wont even have my cell phone – yay! – and offline.

reading through the grant proposal with Sharon et al…

The section I worked on is “Empowering Women Leadership through Civic Dialogues and Action: Utilizing Online/Offline Social Networking: Leadership Development Project (LDP)”

and I keep thinking up all sorts of fun exercises in my head now that its materialized as a possible project. I am looking forward to it- hopefully we get the grant.

Ordered cotton punis and also cotton carders today – in the meanwhile I did try spinning the cotton roving I have without it being put into punis, using my new tahkli spindle with the brass whorl. no image of that attempt and failure yet – will put one up later in the week maybe. Meanwhile what I call my westernized tahkli spindle arrived today and I am trying to spin the wool on that – all in the name of hybridity

interesting….

made from sample of roving from twisted.etsy.com

how many such small bits before I can piece together something I can use?

One aspect of it will possibly be presented soon (details forthcoming) as
“Gandhi’s Granddaughters Scattered Worldwide: Spinning, Weaving and other Craft(ed) Networks in (Post)Modernity”
